Your story on air travel says nothing about the heavy subsidies the air traveler enjoys.

Last week they pirouetted and coasted to music from the New York Philharmonic's open-air concert near by. At lunch hour, regulars glide along the park's winding paths, lapping the joggers. Some of the joggers are in fact beginning to roll, and one skate manufacturer has come out with a "jogger" model-a blue running shoe with yellow racing stripes mounted on wheels. After...
