...Soviet Union's huge Aeroflot jetliner, the Ilyushin-62, was scheduled to land at New York's Kennedy Airport after a stopover in Montreal. Total time: 12 hr. 40 min. A few hours later, a Pan American Boeing 707-321B jet was aimed for Moscow, via Copenhagen, for the 4,907-mile journey that was scheduled to last 10 hr. 35 min. Both planes were to return the next day, and both of the once-weekly flights will continue, with passengers paying from $548 for 14-to 21-day economy-class excursion trips...

An additional 500,000 were sold in more than a score of other countries...
...Dane named Arne Bybjerg Pedersen answered a newspaper ad in 1962: a hairdresser was looking for a partner to help develop a new-style curler. Bybjerg, a former plantation manager in Malaysia, invested $5,500 and lost it all. But he kept his faith and teamed up with a Copenhagen engineer who offered his know-how and a basement workshop for experiments. The pair ran up $200,000 in debts before the Carmen Curler was perfected. A first order from Britain for 500 sets in 1964 put them in business, but not until the Clairol order last year did Bybjerg...
