...flights (and later the Laker flights) are what forced the reductions. The CAB has refused to protect the public by insisting that all Super Saver-type fares must exist for a specified lifetime (such as a five-year minimum). Once the charters are gone, you will see the discounts disappear quickly, and the airlines will have the public right where they want it paying high fares without the option of the less expensive charter flights...
...well after sunset. Some blue remains in the darkened Western sky. Jessie can see only the lights of his combines, as one by one they disappear over a hill. "Follow that star," drawls Jessie over the radio. The combines, like tanks on night maneuvers, head west, following Venus, which is low and bright in the sky. "We've got it!"

...name is highly appropriate. Nothing?not even light?can escape from black holes, making them invisible. Even more astounding, these bizarre non-objects are in effect celestial vacuum cleaners that voraciously devour everything they meet.

When the Fed sells Government securities, it withdraws money from circulation; the buyers pay with checks that disappear into Federal Reserve vaults, never more to be seen. The less money that banks have to lend, the higher interest rates will rise. The FOMC focuses on the Fed funds rate at which banks lend to each other, targeting its buying and selling to push up or pull down that...
