...Farmers Union. He believes that family farms must be preserved (presumably by subsidies), and farm surpluses must be reduced by overseas sales programs and giveaways, by free school-lunch programs and gifts to depressed areas. He talks in terms of "managed abundance," and if Kennedy pushes through Congress the control-heavy farm program he campaigned with, Freeman will be in command of the greatest federal managing operation short of the Commander in Chief himself...
Both planes had entered the New York area under clearance from Air Route Traffic Control center at Idlewild. In the heavy weather, both had been ordered to follow strict holding patterns while awaiting clearance to land: the TWA Connie at 6,000 ft. over Linden, N.J., south of Newark Airport; the DC-8 at 5,000 ft. in a stacking area over Preston check point, more than five miles south of Linden. As traffic moved, ARTC controllers directed the TWA plane to drop to 5,000 ft. and then, proceeding under control of La Guardia, to swing northeastward into...
...U.A.L. DC-8, directed to circle at Preston, would, when cleared, have normally flown eastward toward Idlewild's ILS glide path. U.A.L. Pilot R. H.

In frustration, the rebels shot a few government officials they had captured and then fled into the mountains. Haile Selassie landed at Asmara to wild cheers and the usual earth-scraping bows...
...jungle almost as big (77,000 sq. mi.) as Ecuador itself. For 400 years the tract had been claimed by both nations. Then, in 1942, the U.S. -along with Brazil, Argentina and Chile - promoted a settlement, the Protocol of Rio de Janeiro, based on Peru's de facto control. Under the protocol, the four nations were also to serve as guarantors of the peace...
