England's troubled airplane-making industry is long since inured to insult, but last week it suffered one of the unkindest blows of all. The country's two biggest airlines, BOAC and BEA, both state-controlled, asked the government for permission to buy Boeing-made U.S. planes...
...issue decrees in his own name. It also formally outlawed any form of Marxism, approved Suharto's moves to end the Malaysia conflict and his decision to reapply for membership in such world organizations as the United Nations, which Bung Karno had contemptuously abandoned.

As the star boarder of the Cook County jail for the past seven months, he has had plenty of time to brush up on the bard-and, no doubt, to reflect on Caesar's fate and other most unkindest cuts. For whatever else he may have done in a long and lucrative career-and he has only twice gone to prison before-Sam at 57 is in durance vile for indulging his red-blooded American right to plead the Fifth Amendment...
