GIVING WAY: The greatest impact of the President’s visit may be at John Wayne Airport, where all landings and takeoffs will cease for 15 minutes while the presidential helicopter lands and takes off. . . . The copter must ferry the President to and from LAX because John Wayne’s runways are too short, narrow and lightweight for his jumbo jet. . . .
