...miles from New York to Tel Aviv, the passenger lists are 80% Jewish. El Al corners the groups with what it calls a "sales mating call." The rabbinically supervised menu includes gefilte fish and bagels and lox; there are also potato pancakes for Hanukkah and matzo-ball soup for Passover. The airline enjoys a 55.9% load factor, last year made a $200,000 profit; this was not sensational, but it was better than most other state-owned lines, which are losing money...
...brasses and the lasses may look the same, but in fact the Army is finding new ways to serve God by serving man. In many of its slum-area chapels, officers still sweeten their fundamental ist, Methodist-derived gospel preaching with soap and soup for half-listening human derelicts.

Muzak's special service for jet airplanes has discreetly abandoned playing I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling. At last they achieve their artistic ambition: music to be utterly ignored...
...casual eye, West and East seemed much the same. And why not? A soup can is a soup can, whatever the clime. Like their New York counterparts, California pop painters gaze not upon nature or the human form but upon the most banal man-made objects or the most routine images of everyday life-a milk bottle, an advertising trademark, a scrap from a comic strip. These things are the same all over the nation; here indeed is expectable conformity. But upon closer scrutiny the Californians shared common aspects and a sort of group triumph: their stuff was even drearier...
