...permitted to appear only fleetingly, and usually in a background still photo while a droning announcer reads their carefully edited words. On his return to France recently, Georges Bidault said at a press conference: "I ask you to vote against the Communists and against the Gaullists." Later, French radio quoted him as saying only: "I ask you to vote against Communism...
Hughes's tender offer to buy 2,000,000 shares in the TV-radio network and theater chain at $74.25 per share was made July 1 when they traded for $58.88. The bundle would have amounted to 39% of outstanding stock and would have presumably led to a shake-up of management and operations of the company, whose TV network lost $17 million last year. ABC management fought the takeover bid, asking for a court injunction and a hearing by the Federal Communications Commission...
Somehow, Some Way. After 11 hrs. and 40 min., including a stop at Montreal, a stewardess announced that we had arrived over New York on time, and everyone buckled up for landing. Over the cockpit radio, however, Kennedy control was explaining that there were serious traffic delays (because of the tower workers' slowdown).

In that case, said control, our plane's turn would come...
...waited an hour and 35 minutes while Egorov made precise turns in the bright sky until finally somehow, some way, somebody down there mercifully did something to get us out of the jam. Landing orders crackled over the radio. Heaving at the controls-Soviet planes have no power boost-Egorov swung out of the holding pattern, popped his dive brakes, flattened out and bored straight for J.F.K. We flat-hatted over Long Island, made a sharp turn to a little-used runway and touched down at about 220 m.p.h.-much faster than the Boeing 707's 175-m.p.h. landing...
Banking and diving on orders from radio-equipped spotters on the ground, six planes flew pass after deadly pass over the lush, green terrain. Were they flushing out Viet Cong? Hardly. The enemy, darting around some 7,000 seaside acres of Monterey County, south of San Francisco, was Microtus californicus, a grey, nocturnal field mouse that measures no more than 4 in. from tip to quivering tail, yet threatens most of the nation's artichoke crop...
