The whole world-a hideous desert of slag heaps, ashpits, garbage, swamping flies and choking, poisonous vapors-holds for her an absorbing and mysterious fascination. Even the contaminated sea is infinitely more exciting, and more satisfying, than the blue waters, golden sands and fake sea spray of her synthetic seaside at home.

The rules are meant to cut down on air and ground holds, which this...
...until private and commercial flyers have had a chance to comment on them at public hearings in Washington. If preliminary reactions last week are any clue, some comments will be angry. Private flyers, in particular, are incensed by the fact that the FAA intends to bar planes from the Golden Triangle pattern in bad weather unless they have a second pilot, can maintain an airspeed of 172 m.p.h. and carry electronic equipment to acknowledge radar signals of FAA controllers...
