...Trans World Airlines President Charles Tillinghast was the first to announce that he had placed an order. But American Airlines President C. R. Smith contended that he had telegraphed an order four days earlier, and Pan American's Juan Trippe argued that he, too, had ordered planes before TWA. TWA, at least, was first to send along a check, as a $600,000 down payment on six planes. Only later did Pan Am send a check and American offer to. The only one of the four airline executives who refused to join the scramble was United...

...four lines are now in good shape, and of the four none has greater reason to cheer than TWA. After losing $20 million in two years, the line has climbed back into the black, and this year expects to earn $10 million or more. President Tillinghast, 52, is so confident of TWA's good health that last week he broke off the merger agreement made with Pan American last December, when TWA's plight was still perilous...

...airlines over whether they should follow suit. National's Bud Maytag is an advocate of the single class-but would adopt it only if all other airlines did; Eastern and Delta indicate that they might follow if United succeeds.

...other end of the jet spectrum, among the big long distance models, Continental Air Lines fortnight ago signed up for three Concorde Mach 2.2 supersonic jet trans ports being built by a British-French consortium for delivery beginning in 1970. Pan Am has already ordered six Concordes - and TWA seems certain to follow. The orders are a form of insurance by the U.S. airlines to ensure them a place in line for the Concorde, and their down payments will be returned if the Concorde does not meet the promised specifications; but that is little solace for U.S. airframe makers...

Perhaps what the England of Christine Keeler and Stephen Ward needs is a touch of old Scotland. Judging by the archaic language of the Scottish Bigamy Act (1551), few offenders are more frowned upon than "thame that maryis twa sindrie wyfis or husbandis levand togiddir undervorsit [undivorced]." Under the act, punishment of such culprits is fixed at "confiscatioun of all theair gudis mouabill of their persounis for yeir and day." Also, they may "neuer habill to bruke [never again bear] office of honour, dignitie nor benefice...
