McCarthy began to shine in private meetings. On Monday he lunched with 60 prominent members of this state's peace movement at the Harvard Club of Boston. He began the meeting with a brief moral condemnation of the war. (Throughout the weekend, McCarthy impressed private audiences with the extreme toughness of his anti-war stand...
...rank of U.S. orchestras (behind the "big five" of Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland and Chicago), he has given it an even finer edge of technical precision. While enriching its sound, particularly in the strings, he has achieved a limpid texture that lets the inner architecture of the music shine through. His interpretations, though vigorous and often intense, do not often reflect great emotional involvement-a trait that frustrates some members of the audience and orchestra. "Sometimes," sighs one of his musicians, "we wish he'd let himself go more...
...salute. The Teheran Symphony Orchestra played a new coronation hymn ("You are the shadow of God"), and unofficial Poet Laureate Lutfali Suratgar read a three-minute ode ("The crown and throne of the King of Kings shone over the world as the sun and the moon shine in the firmament").

With 227 to 300 passengers in a comfortable two-aisle layout (six abreast in first class, eight or nine in economy), it promises to whiz along for under 1? per passenger mile-less than any existing jet. That efficiency, and the fact that it can use runways too short for smaller, four-engine airliners, is the result of the plane's major technological advance: Lockheed will...
