Just before I partook of the elements, I read the words which I had chosen to indicate our trust: John 15: 5, 'I am the vine, you are the branches.

At last count, The Jimmy Stewart Show is in 44th place, Tony Curtis' The Persuaders is 54th, Anthony Quinn...
...against the SST. Now then, let's see if Senator Proxmire will have any second thoughts after he sees all of the Anglo-French and Soviet SSTs coming into and leaving J.F.K. Airport in New York City while our commercial airline industry withers on the vine. I think the anti-SST forces have made a very serious mistake...
