...their case, more than half the fun of travel is getting there. "Flying," says New York Film Producer Sidney Stiber, who pilots a Cessna 320, "gives you a combination of the satisfaction of intellectual accomplishment and the esthetics of flying itself." To New York Real Estate Broker Edward Cowen, such a trip offers "both pleasure and challenge," but there is no question in his mind that "the whole thing is dangerous." Says Earl Howard of Ames, Iowa, who, with his wife as copilot, flew his twin-engine Piper Aztec to a Rotary International convention in Nice this year: "If cost...

"One thing you've got to have is a modern plant," says Vincent Manno, the New York newspaper broker who brought Hearst, Howard and Whitney together for the ill-fated W.J.T. merger.
