...cost of $1.2 billion, United will take 30 767s, twin-engine, wide-bodied jets that so far exist only as models in a wind tunnel. The new plane, designed to fill the gap between the long-range jumbos and short-range feeder planes, will be in the air by mid-1982, carrying 197 passengers on trips of 500 to 2,200 miles. It will look like a much fatter 707 with two huge engines hanging from thinner, longer wings. Because of its advanced aerodynamics and improved engines, it will be quieter, more comfortable and some 35% cheaper to operate than...
...dominance of civil aviation is being seriously challenged by European governments, which are pressing their state-owned airlines to buy jets made by their own industries. Until the United purchase of the 767, the U.S. had no viable competitor to the European Airbus, at present the only wide-bodied, twin-engine jetliner with short-to-medium range...

Philip Kraus is suitable as Sebastian, the twin brother Viola believes lost at sea. As in the two previous AST productions, the confusion of the two siblings is made more credible by having Kraus act somewhat effeminately--both twins thus being androgynous. In Shakespeare's day the problem naturally did not arise, since both roles were played by young boys, actresses being forbidden by law until the Rest oration...
...plant's construction design made the project vulnerable to controversy from the start because the power company planned to cool its twin 1,150-megawatt nuclear reactors by drawing sea water from three miles offshore through a 19-ft.-diameter tunnel, and returning the water, 39° F. hotter, to the ocean. The issue was supposed to have been settled in 1974, when the Environmental Protection Agency required that all new nuclear plants use concrete cooling towers, which dissipate the heat through evaporation and may cost more than $60 million...
