Repellent & Alluring. At 1 p.m. Zurich time, Modestini, Feidler and their 490-year-old companion boarded Swissair Flight 100. Ginevra occupied a $417 window seat. Beneath the suitcase tab was a dial, similar to those used on meat thermometers, indicating the temperature deep within the Styrofoam.

Figuring that there is a market for close to 1,200 short-to medium-range jets for the next decade, it expects to win at least 400 orders for the DC-9-a package that would amount to $1.2 billion for the company. The DC-9 is one-third the size of the DC-8, has a wing span 8 ft. less than the ancient DC-3. It can carry from 56 to 90 passengers, depending...
