Keek's plan will go into effect March 27. In return for CAB permission to restore the surcharge on new jet routes, United and other major U.S. airlines will offer a new, round-trip "excursion plan" cutting 25% off present jet coach rates-under certain circumstances. Thus a jet coach round trip between New York and Chicago will, given those circumstances, come down from...
...missile defenses. Its ideal plane would have a range at least equal to the most advanced B-52s-nearly 10,000 miles fully loaded. What the Air Force is getting, at least for now, is essentially a beefed-up two-man fighter with limited capacity for penetration aids, a round-trip range of 4,000 to 6,000 miles and a speed of 1,200 m.p.h., twice that of the earlier B-52s. Thus, for intercontinental strategic missions, the FB-111 would depend on tankers for in-flight refueling. But the movable-wing plane would be able to haul nuclear...
Three Flags. The need is plain enough. The Yarmouth Castle was one of half a dozen ships, all aging, all under foreign flags, that carry American tourists on cruises to the West Indies, charging as little as $59 for the round-trip run from Miami to Nassau.

Thus, though long past the retirement age for U.S. passenger ships, generally kept in service no more than 20 years, she was required under international law to meet only the lax safety standards...
...Erikson, 37: a successful, round-trip swim of the English Channel, from Dover to Calais and back in 30 hrs. 3 min., slashing more than 13 hrs. from the old record set by Argentina's Antonio Abertondo in 1961. A Chicago research chemist, Erikson battled cold, exhaustion, schools of jellyfish and hallucinations ("when the pilot boat turned into a rosebush, I just closed my eyes...
Though tensions have eased, little else has noticeably changed since the riots. Not only are most of Watts's pillaeed stores still closed, but the slum is still without a single restaurant, bowling alley, roller rink or movie theater (the nearest cinema is a 60?, four-mile round-trip bus ride away). Men loll in clusters on front porches drinking Colt .45 beer. When a white man passes, a lanky teen-ager taunts him: "Better not be here at 5. That's when the riot's gonna start all over again." A police car drives...
