...best known of the golpistas (coup makers) is Guardia Civil Lieut. Colonel Antonio Tejero Molina, 50, who, with his drooping mustache and patent-leather hat, became an instant celebrity last year as he waved his pistol while holding hos tage nearly all of the Cortes' 350 mem bers. Also on trial are Major General Al fonso Armada Comyn, 61, King Juan Carlos' longtime military tutor; Lieut. General Jaime Milans del Bosch, 66, who declared martial law in Valencia on the night of the coup; and Major General Luis Torres Rojas, 62, who is accused of trying to enlist...
...trouble also are smaller, fare-cutting lines that either sprang up or grew rapidly after Congress passed the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 to improve competition. New York Air lost $11.6 million last year. Passenger traffic was so slow at La Guardia Airport that "you could roll a bowling ball through the terminal without hitting anybody," said one airline official. Air New England shut down in October, throwing 400 people out of work. Daniel May, president of Minneapolis-based Republic Airlines, whose pilots and flight attendants have been asked to defer part of their pay to cut costs, cited some...
Hopkins too was a master builder. The WPA created New York's La Guardia Airport, for example, and restored the St. Louis riverfront. But the most remarkable aspect of the WPA was its willingness to put people to work at their own trades (average wage: $50 to $60 a month) and to try anything.

Unemployed writers like Conrad Aiken and John Cheever were put to work creating the American Guide series. Artists...

At New York's La Guardia, for example, the cutback jumps from 27% between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. to 49% in the following hour. At Chicago's O'Hare, the heaviest reduction, 60%, is between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Each airline is free to cancel any flights it wishes to stay within...
...strikers, as stubborn and high-spirited a bunch as ever hit the bricks, did not, of course, concede defeat. Despite the overwhelming Government pressure, they continued to picket airports from LGA (La Guardia) to LAX (Los Angeles International), rallying behind their bearded, owlish-looking president Robert E. Poli in an unusual show of solidarity. Poli, 44, a former controller himself, called the Administration's actions "the most blatant form of union-busting I have ever seen." Vowed he: "It will not end the strike...
