...service on a domestic cargo and mail run from Moscow to the central Asian city of Alma-Ata. The Concorde is not far behind. The French plan to start SST service later this month from Paris to the Senegalese capital of Dakar (2,860 miles) and then on to Rio de Janeiro (another 3,189 miles). At the same time, Britain will launch Concorde flights from London's Heathrow for the 3,162-mile trip to the oil-rich island of Bahrain.

From the plane, a fabulous fiery sunset over the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, lights coming on in Uruguay and Argentina on either side of the river. Another sunset, seen from sea level, the eye drawn up walls of ocher, rust and dusty rose to the snow fields on the crest of the Chilean Andes. Everywhere, people of charm, energy, talent, incorrigibly...
