Its proposed one-way fare between New York or Washington and Los Angeles or San Francisco: $89 plus tax, or about 25% less than the lowest transcontinental fares on United, American and TWA.

General Dynamics last year overtook Lockheed as the U.S.'s largest defense contractor (total 1974 sales: about $2 billion), but the order comes at a time when...

Nor did he seem aware of a rapidly approaching lunch date, or the morning appointment for which he was already late.
