...Charlie. Jackie donned jodhpurs for a few jumps on a horse named Princess. Her ride was flawless, but an embarrassed Indian officer was thrown. Said the First Lady of her horse at ride's end: "She jumped like a bird." Jackie fed pandas and an elephant, watched a cobra rise to music, saw a battle between a mongoose and a snake. Among the many gifts she received were a pair of tiger cubs that were first named Ev and Charlie (for G.O.P.

The report hit hard at the rail unions by recommending the gradual elimination of over 40,000 freight-and yard-engine firemen-survivors of the era of steam locomotives who, at union insistence, still ride diesel engines. (Rifkind & Co. conceded, however, that firemen still provide a necessary margin of safety in the engines of highspeed passenger trains.) The commission urged that the railroads pay dismissed firemen up to 60% of their wages for three years, put them on a national roster for preferential rehiring...
