...jets by then necessary to stay alive. TWA went into the red by no less than $38.7 million in 1961. Yet that same year, two happy things happened. First, the capricious hand of Billionaire Howard Hughes was lifted from corporate controls. Second, Charles Carpenter Tillinghast Jr., a Vermont-born lawyer, became TWA's president and chief executive officer. Under Tillinghast's regime, TWA took the U.S. airlines' profit leadership from Pan Am-$50.1 million to $47.2 million last year. In February, TWA paid its first cash dividend (250) in 30 years...
Stakhanovite Squirrel. The Manhattan liberal and the Vermont Tory have almost nothing else in common. Nor is Javits exactly a spiritual heir of the late Senator whose office he now occupies. Suite 326 of the Old Senate Office Building used to be Robert A. Taft's lair, but its new appointments scarcely reflect the tastes of the man who was known as "Mr. Republican." Busts of John F.

...that the states will not besiege Washington to do jobs that they can do themselves. There are plenty of such jobs, and many of them are being attacked by a flock of progressive Governors such as Rockefeller, Michigan's George Romney, Pennsylvania's William Scranton, Vermont's Philip Hoff, Oregon's Mark Hatfield, California's Pat Brown. New York has just enacted its own program for rehabilitating narcotics addicts, and last fall launched a $1 billion water-pollution-control program. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have launched ambitious programs for urban parks. California encourages communities...
