...injured in the collision, which, according to Vik, was caused by "an apologetic policeman who was supposed to be directing traffic but who instead directed an accident." The damages to the automobiles, however, were considerably more costly than a package of Titleists. All of which goes to prove that in some cases, it's not how well you get off the tee that counts, but whether or not you get there in the first place...
...among whites, most of the violent crimes committed by Negroes are against other Negroes. Of 172 Washington, D.C., murders in a recent two-year period, for example, only twelve were interracial. Yet fear that Negro riots are leading to some ghastly racial holocaust is fueling a vast, scandalously uncontrolled traffic in firearms that has equipped one-half of U.S. homes with 50 million guns, largely for "self-defense."

When it ventured overseas in 1957 with DC-4 flights to London and Bombay, E.A.A. happily discovered that traffic in English civil servants and schoolboys could make up the losses on domestic flights. Going intercontinental for keeps, it boldly spent $6,000,000, or double its assets, to buy two Comets. E.A.A. soon had the planes paying handsomely by flying them 14 hours...
