...January when Arthur Present, a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner, recommended that the CAB end the airlines' "youth fares," which allow passengers from twelve to 22 to fly for half fare on a standby basis or for two-thirds fare with a reserved seat.

He did not reckon with the power of American students when they feel it is they who have suffered the discrimination...

Get jobs at gas stations, in garages--dump sand, valve grinding compound, detergent into the crankcases and gas tanks...
...purchase some of the choicest acreage available in North Dakota. The plan, as we conceive it, is to construct a new community closely modelled on Cambridge--to be called "Pusey Bluffs." The residents in question will be flown all-expenses-paid, non-stop-direct to Bismarck, with fortnightly bus connections to Yellowstocking, and bimonthly sand-buggy service to Pusey Bluffs...
