...forget. Last week despite a feeble two-day rally, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 1.62 points, to wind up at 869.65. It was the fourth week in a row of steady losses that have erased more than half of the Dow's spring gains. From a peak of 923.72 on July 15, the average has dropped 54.07 points, reflecting a $7 billion loss in the market value of 30 blue-chip industrial stocks. Most other market indicators show remarkably similar declines...

Airliners soon may be diverted at peak hours from congested airports, and passengers on peak-hour flights may have to pay premium rates. The industry blames the glut partly on private planes, but barring them from major airports would hardly dent the crush. At Kennedy, they make an estimated 10% of the flights. New York City...
...They finally agreed that only miniature flagpoles, both of precisely equal size, would be placed on the table, but North Korea has put a spike point atop its tiny table pole to gain a minute one-inch height advantage. Language across the table, which is predictably tough, reached a peak last year when the senior member on the U.N. side, U.S. Major General Richard Ciccolella, violated past practice and started addressing his opposite number directly with such salty salutations as "Pak, you bastard ..." Once, when Ciccolella stared out a window while the North Korean side was trying to make...
