...meet promoter, anxious to lure a top dash man to his indoor meet to increase the gate, called a speedster and promised him $800 plus expenses for joining the field. But two meets were scheduled on the opposite coast for the same weekend, and the sprinter had been offered round-trip plane tickets by both meet directors-one of which he could cash in as an informal subsidy. So the promoter decided that to clinch the deal it was necessary to tack on a sliding scale of incentive payments for any records the runner might...
...designed by scientists in the Center's division of geoastronomy, may provide a measure of continental drift. The satellite, now in orbit, is two feet in diameter, and is covered with 426 small mirrors. Scientists at two different ground stations direct lasers at the satellite. By precisely measuring the round-trip time of each beam, they hope to determine the distance between the stations to an accuracy of two centimeters--the distance many think Europe and North America drift apart each year. The researchers' accuracy is at about ten centimeters now. But most of the research at the Center looks...
With the ink barely dry on the 1977 brochures, the outlook for spring/summer air travel is becoming clear. Flying is in for a big boost. One major reason: the new ticketing arrangement called Advance Booking Charters, which enables passengers to get low-cost round-trip air transportation with fewer restrictions than on any of the previous charter plans. Authorized by the Civil Aeronautics Board last October, ABCs are now being pushed aggressively by both scheduled and nonscheduled airlines, notably by Britain's ebullient charter operator Freddie Laker...
...breakfast with city department heads, he and his wife Eleanor were presented with a gift of round-trip tickets to Ireland, homeland of the mayor's grandparents. At the Civic Center Plaza, Hizzoner watched artists fashion Christmas sculptures out of ice. On to the dedication of a new gymnasium, where Daley deftly sank a basket...
...also will be restrained by other rules, such as prohibiting charter operators from raising ticket prices if a flight is not fully booked, so prices may well be pegged high enough to offset excessive cancellations. The result: charter fares will go down, but not dramatically. Pan American estimates the round-trip New York-London ABC fare at $350, not substantially below the $358 offered by another plan. Both charter fares, however, are far cheaper than the standard coach fare...
