...eight-man press pool sits in a rear compartment behind a closed door. No reporter may wander forward without a rare and specific invitation from Presidential Press Secretary Ron Ziegler. Even then, it is only for a quick "photo opportunity" to see the President in conference. With Nixon, the travel days are always predictable; bad scheduling is rare and mistakes never surface. The White House works overtime to show that they never occurred. The President moves at a careful pace, emphasizing his presidential duties, his larger responsibilities. On the stump, he never mentions McGovern or the Democratic Party, and only...
Learson will remain on IBM's board, but he says that he will take advantage of his retirement to "sharpen up my golf, do some more sailing, travel, and spend more time with my family.

...profit-starved scheduled airlines have made no secret of the fact that they plan to fight back in the courts on the ground that the CAB exceeded its authority by failing to preserve the distinction between group and individually ticketed travel. They are backed up by two of the Republican members on the five-man CAB. If their legal gambit fails, the scheduled lines are likely to counter by lowering their own fares -and some of the big but money-short lines may be badly bumped...
