...grown increasingly cool toward Childe Harold. No sooner had Nixon left his car for the block-long walk to the Exposition Grotto than a crowd began to gather. Nixon showed all the pump-handle efficiency of an Estes Kefauver in shaking hands with cab drivers, tourists, shopkeepers, cops, and everyone else he could reach...
Glint of a Pin. The addition done, the FBI and police arrested swarthy Angelo John LaMarca, 31, in Plainview, five miles from the Weinberger home. At headquarters LaMarca, sometime mechanic and cab driver and the father of two children, stolidly confessed. Two months before the kidnaping, he said, he had moved his family into a new $15,000 split-level home. He was broke, and the bills were piling up. He needed $2,000. On the Fourth of July he decided that a kidnaping was the only...
Warm & Cool Tractor. New comfort for the hitherto weather-beaten and windburned farmer is promised with the coming of a tractor that is air-conditioned in summer, heated in winter. The experimental tractor, its cab encased in glass and steel, was displayed by its inventor. J. F. Schaffhausen, of Cockshutt Farm Equipment. Inc., in Doylestown, Pa.

Ordinarily, the board would then have waited about a month to announce it in a formal order, but word quickly leaked to the "corridor walkers"-the airline lobbyists who have been putting tremendous heat on CAB. Suddenly, Northeast's ordinarily sluggish shares (only 249,600 traded in all of 1955) zoomed; in just one day 24,000 were traded, with the stock jumping from 9½ to 12½. Finally, as the rumor hit front pages...
...furor over the Northeast decision, newsmen and airline lobbyists missed another CAB ruling that may be even more important. Three days before it voted on Northeast, CAB voted 3-2, Democrats Joseph Adams and Joseph Minetti dissenting, to give Pan American a New York-Nassau route. With Pan Am already flying between Miami and Nassau, the ruling would, in effect, also bring Pan Am into the New York-Miami run-by way of Nassau. Since the unannounced Pan Am decision could still be reversed, new pressures will arise in Washington. The Gold Coast war is not over...
