...mile what now costs 23? on the C124 Globemasters. But MATS is in the sniping sights of the civil airlines, which last year got $85 million worth of business from MATS. (The total military business with the airlines last year, including movements of military people under travel orders, came to a handsome $235 million.) The lines are out to get even more of the Government's airtransport business. Congress has long sided with the airlines, ignored the steady decline of MATS; e.g., last year the House gunned down a MATS request for ten DC-8 jets costing $66 million...
With the resumption of diplomatic ties with Bulgaria, Hungary becomes the only Eastern European country for which U.S. tourist passports are still marked "not valid" for travel. Bulgaria's capital of Sofia (pop. 700,000) is a pleasant city of broad avenues and parks, and has an Intourist-style hotel as garishly new, as poorly heated as Moscow's latest.

...seven days of their alert duty, Bulli and the other five of his crew go into a military retreat. They sleep in the same quarters, stay always within reach of one another. They travel in a blue station wagon that is striped with a yellow band and topped with a revolving red Grimes light, is always kept warmed up and ready...
Corner on the Pooch Market. The main themes of Ko are, as its dust jacket states, "baseball, neurosis, art and death; travel, weather, self-realization and power; love, error, prophesy, destruction and pleasure." Among the characters who reel through the commotion of Koch's jouncing, rhymed octaves (following the rhythm of Byron's Don Juan) are Ko, a young Japanese pitcher who earns a tryout with the Dodgers and throws with such force that he shatters grandstands: Dog Boss, a financier who has cornered the pooch market; Amaranth, the king of England; a nameless but enchanted fish...
