...other operational craft and, as far as the pilot knew, of antiaircraft fire as well. Back at Incirlik, an operations officer tersely logged the take-off of the high-altitude U-2 weather research flight. If all went well, that was all the official records would ever have to say. Meanwhile, Pilot Powers banked to a course that took him north and east-arcing toward the border of Soviet Russia...
...None was fatter than the $251 million depressed-areas bill locked up in the House Rules Committee for more than a year. With a magic appeal to both urban and farm areas, the Democratic bill provides for loans and grants to areas of chronic unemployment (so broadly defined, say Republicans, that New York City could qualify), to be dispensed by a U.S. Area Redevelopment Administration.

Last week Federal Aviation Agency Chief Elwood R. Quesada flew out to a meeting with Lockheed Board Chairman Robert Gross, issued a statement saying that "we are satisfied that we are boring in on an area that is going to be definitive...

Their philosophy is that if one company cuts prices broadly, all will have to follow - and no one will end up with a competitive advantage. Says Loudon: "You can't build your share of the market with price cutting. The way to grow is to build pipelines, service stations, more depots." The result is that, like the auto and the cigarette industries, oildom's giants rarely compete on the basis of price. But they...
