...nation noted for its scarcity, Spain's 7 billion gallon surplus of sherry and domestic table wine would seem to be a bonanza. Not so. The average Spaniard scorns the local elixir in favor of spectacularly overpriced bottles of Scotch. Now Spain's Agriculture Minister, Adolfo Díaz-Ambrona, 59, has appealed to his countrymen to ease "the problem of domestic underconsumption." Noting that the Spaniards consume only half as much wine per capita as the Frenchmen, the government is starting a huge advertising campaign for wine-and doubling the import duties on Scotch...
...crack the top ten. The first-and second-ranking shows were parts one and two of Steve McQueen's 1963 film, The Great Escape-CBS had shrewdly cut the 170-minute feature into two installments, and played them on successive nights. The rest of the leaders, in order: Bonanza (NBC), 20th Century-Fox's What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine (NBC), Family Affair (CBS), Gomer Pyle (CBS), Paramount's Fun in Acapulco with Elvis Presley (NBC). No. 81 and last: Good Company (ABC), F. Lee Bailey's impression of the old Person-to-Person...
...première weeks to contrive anything original, let alone imaginative, for their new dramatic and comedy series. Seven of the new shows are oaters. Now there are 14 of them on the air, and most suffer from hoof-in-mouth disease. High Chaparral (NBC) standing just south of Bonanza's Ponderosa, features Rancher Leif Erickson against Apaches, marauding Mexicans, and a disappointing son who whimpers while he works. ABC has Hondo, an Army trucemaker, some of whose best friends are Apaches, and Custer, which takes scalps from history and Indians in equal number...
...make three in this case-they may well add up to ten." So says G. Robert Henry, 51, president of Pacific Air Lines. Henry's arithmetic stems from the profits he anticipates from a merger of Pacific and two other regional, or feeder, airlines: Phoenix's Bonanza and Seattle's West Coast. The system, after approval by stockholders and the CAB, will cover eight Western states...
...Bonanza is the strongest of the three. Flying popular routes in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, it retired its last piston plane in 1960, has attracted passengers with imaginative fare plans. Last year passenger totals rose 26.8%, to 848,000, and the company earned $530,000 on revenues of $18 million. Much credit goes to Henry who, before going to Pacific last July, had been second-in-command to Founder-Presdent Edmund Converse, 60. Converse will be vice chairman of the merged airline, and Henry its president...
