Touching down at Boston's Logan Airport in the small hours one morning last week after a flight from New York, American Airlines Flight 116 routinely rolled to the terminal, discharged 62 passengers. Then, in a grim departure from routine, the DC-6-strikebound American's last flight-rolled away to join 194 other planes already grounded indefinitely at airports around the U.S. Unable to reach agreement on a new contract covering its 1,500 American Airlines members, the A.F.L.-C.I.O.

But if CAB disapproves the agreement, Capital will have to return the handouts...
...time finding enough cars to sell. Local strikes idled General Motors workers. Most of Plymouth's production was shut down. Among the Big Three, only Ford rolled in full production. Chevrolet announced that it had enough dealer orders to produce full speed for 60 to 90 days. But strikebound Chevy had produced only 14,800 of the '593 for its 7,500 dealers...
