...sure, Walt stopped drawing his own cartoons in 1928, and has not piped the voice of Mickey Mouse on a sound track in years. He has even cut his workday from 14 hours to ten. But his calendar for last week included 30 conferences at his production lot in Burbank or at his research-and-development facility in Glendale, a back-to-backbreaking schedule with time out only to sip Sanka poured from his silver carafe...

One week between terms is grossly insufficient for "catching up." As for research, publication or public service, when would there be time...

The excursion reduction would not apply to flights taking off between Friday noon and Saturday noon, between Sunday noon and Monday noon, or during major holiday periods. Moreover, to qualify, a passenger must begin his round trip in one calendar week, finish it in another, but not take more than 30 days...
