This year's medicare plan is a twin to last year's proposal, which was killed by a 52-to-48 vote in the Senate. The Administration has made only two detectable changes. One would extend coverage to 2,500,000 more oldsters by including everyone over 65, instead of only those eligible to receive social security or railroad retirement benefits. The other would give the elderly a choice between a couple of new coverage plans: the first would provide 45 days of free hospital care; the second would provide up to 180 days of care...
Despite the sorry sales record, the planemakers are gamely pushing ahead. Besides Lockheed, corporate jets are being built by North American, Aero Commander and Lear. Britain's entry is the De Havilland DH-125. France's Dassault plans to introduce its twin-jet Mystère 20 in the spring; Hamburger Flugzeugbau is making a six-passenger plane; and Italy's Piaggio, maker of the famed Vespa motor scooter, has teamed up with Douglas Aircraft to build the PD-808, known as the "Vespa...

Douglas has not yet broken even on its long-range DC-8 jet, so far has not a single order for the DC-9, and is not at all sure that it will be able to go ahead with the plane. Two local-service U.S. airlines to which Douglas had hoped to sell DC-9s recently decided instead to buy British Aircraft Corp.'s new One-Eleven, the only short...
