Exactly three years after American and Allegheny ushered in the new era, CAB Examiner Arthur S. Present on January 21, 1969 ruled that Youth Fare was 'unjustly discriminatory" and must be canceled. Acceptance of the Examiner's Report -- a routine formality in most cases--was held up this time by the CAB in order to allow the Board to "independently review" the matter.

On the Bowery, a squalid mile-long stretch on Manhattan's Lower East Side bordered by wine dispensaries, flop houses and rescue missions, annual head counts of the residents have disclosed a steady attrition. Between 1949 and 1967, the population of the Bowery fell from 13,675 to 4,851. Every year...
