Or again, the script jerks the customer out of his socks with a gesture of almost electrocuting theatricality-knocked down by the fist...
Among the world's plane builders, Douglas Aircraft was long the blue chip; its series of DC planes were the workhorses that hauled the biggest percentage of the world's air travelers. But last week Douglas, which has been in the red for a year, was in deeper trouble, buffeted by the airframe industry's agonizing changeover to the age of the missile...
