...Diego, and between San Diego and Los Angeles. In addition the opposing brief noted that American, with Western, would have an excessively large share (22.7%) of the total national trunk airline market, yet would not gain "any significant cost reductions," as had been argued by American President George A. Spater. American and Western insist that their common routes in the Southwest are not a major overlap and that their combined size would not likely be greater than that of United, now the largest domestic carrier...

Exactly what the quartet -George Keck, president of United, Charles Tillinghast, chairman of TWA, Floyd Hall, president of Eastern and George Spater, chairman and president of American-told the President is supposed to be secret.

Naming him president this week, American's board of directors is also expected to name him chief executive, succeeding C. R. Smith...
...Your discussion [Sept. 10] of George Spater's Michigan Law Review article on the law of noise was well done, giving this interesting piece of legal scholarship the exposure it merits. However, one implied criticism of Spater's motives or intellectual honesty deserves explanation. Spater was himself concerned that his connection with the airline industry be disclosed. At his suggestion, the introductory article of the issue described his position. Any blame for inadequacy of disclosure is mine...
