...Wing & a Prayer. Latin Americans have been air-minded almost from the first days of flight. The airplane smoothed over the continent's fractured geography, knitted together its scattered populations and-most important of all -proved a far cheaper means of transport than building highways or laying track. In 1919, Chile was the first country outside the U.S. to launch an airmail service; one year later, Colombia licensed the first commercial airline this side of the Atlantic; in 1934, Brazil established the first transatlantic air route with Germany-five years before Pan American connected the U.S. with Europe...
...days before the convention, there was a real smear. In a report from Germany, CBS's Daniel Schorr clearly implied that Goldwater would, on his planned (and now canceled) post-convention trip to Berchtesgaden, seek a liaison between U.S. conservatives and German "right-wing elements"-which, in the U.S., smacks of Naziism. Barry hit the ceiling, sputtered that the report was "nothing but-and I won't swear, but you know what I'm thinking-a dad-burned dirty lie." For a while he barred CBS cameras from his convention headquarters...
Crossed Branches. Tshombe was determined to use Gizenga, and his considerable left-wing following, in his efforts to unify the Congo.

He also grabbed the onetime God-Emperor of Kasai province, Albert Kalonji, now Tshombe's Agriculture Minister, and set forth on a triumphant tour of Leopoldville's African quarter. For 21 hours, thousands of Congolese paid screaming homage to the unlikely trio, who as bitter rivals had once led the Congo's most ruinous major rebellions...
...made fortnight ago by Aviation Minister Julian Amery. He admitted that he and French Transport Minister Marc Jaquet had adjusted the cost to $400 million for each country after studying modifications that will be necessary to give the Concorde more passenger space, greater engine power and larger wing area-partly to make it more competitive with the proposed U.S. model...
...moral without a lecture. This time they also provide some smashing scenery-the Anchor Bay country of northern California-without too pointedly stopping to stare at it. And they provide two remarkably attractive performers. Celia Kaye, in her first film, makes the most charming Indian maiden since pretty Red Wing. And the actor who plays the mongrel-his name is Junior, and he is the son of the dog who played Old Yeller for Walt Disney-possesses a distinction rare in cine-mutts: he is a dog who is just plain...
