...inside California, has asked approval to fly the Orange County-San Francisco run, but so far the state has withheld permission. For its part, Air Cal woos local loyalty through such amenities as free airport parking, quality booze (Chivas Regal, Beefeater, Jack Daniel's) for the standard $1 tab, and eye-catching stewardesses' uniforms (orange and ochre with Spanish-style capes and hats). More than half of its stewardesses are Orange County housewives who quit other airlines to marry. They are, of course, happy to fly again with the line that gets them home every evening...
...sport's biggest bills, television more often than not picks up the tab. And sports of all sorts bring out the best of TV-the imagination of its reporters, the skills of its engineers. Parabolic microphones pick up a quarterback's signal changes; they eavesdrop on conversations between a golfer and his caddy. Other gimmicks such as "instant replay," "stop action," and the split screen help to heighten drama and educate the fan in the intricacies of the game...
They threw $50,000 parties for 1,000 guests, lived in a $250,000 house near Dallas, had three ranches with Black Angus cattle, drove His and Her Cadillacs, and proudly showed visitors a photo signed: "As ever, Lyndon B.

Though Ernest Medders, 57, was only a $50-a-week mechanic's helper, barely able to feed his wife Margaret and ten children, he told folks that he was about to inherit an oilfield worth $500 million. So everybody lent...
Intrepid is most far-out way down under. Instead of a single rudder set on the keel, she has two-a main steering rudder set well aft on a long stabilizing skeg, plus a narrow "tab rudder" mounted on the unusually short keel. Controlled with its own wheel in the helmsman's cockpit, the tab will perform something like the trim tabs on aircraft ailerons, which balance planes for level, effortless flight. When beating to windward, the tab should offset the boat's natural tendency to round up into the wind. On reaches and spinnaker runs...
...French romantic; the spired Chateau de Mercues, a medieval castle recently converted to a luxury hotel. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the sleepy little town of Cahors in southwestern France near Héreil's country home. The ten-week, six-hour-a-day course (with a tab of $3,000 plus the price of meals for each executive and his wife), was something of a smorgasbord. It mixed Europe's theoretical pedagogy with the case-study methods of U.S. business schools. French and U.S. instructors, including two men from the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate...
