...buckled up for landing. Over the cockpit radio, however, Kennedy control was explaining that there were serious traffic delays (because of the tower workers' slowdown). Pilot Egorov also was told that his flight could be given priority for an almost immediate landing. He politely declined, radioing that "Aeroflot Zero Three will go in turn like the rest." In that case, said control, our plane's turn would come in two hours...
...Zeroing In. The FTC is only the latest agency to zero in on the controversial conglomerates. President Johnson has appointed a group of academic antitrust experts to study and recommend policy toward the companies. The Securities and Exchange Commission is studying their financial reporting techniques. The Justice Department, criticized as being soft on antitrust, recently became acutely aware of the fact that antitrust law has lagged behind the phenomenon of conglomerates...

Later (often shaped) canvases zero in on specific portions of the anatomy: feet that rise like mountains above the seashore, mouths dragging at enormous cigarettes, huge breast. Yet, explicit though the images are, Wesselmann's nudes are not pornographic. They are too remote for that, too glazed, too impersonal. They could be legendary divorcees, airline stewardesses or Candys who spend all lay on the beach...
