John Ono Lennon, 33, and his wife Yoko Ono, 40, are busy at their respective careers on different sides of the continent. In Hollywood, John is grooving an album to be released this week, called Mind Games, which includes such Lennon novelties as the three-second Nutopian International Album; Bring on the Lucie; and Aisumasen (I'm Sorry).

The system demands such accuracy that all the planes must carry atomic clocks, which are precisely synchronized to a master timepiece on the ground or aboard one of the planes. Theoretically, CAS is so fast and efficient that it can safely handle as many as 2,000 planes over an area of more than 61,000sq...
