...read my name in the list of train devotees while flying over the Atlantic Ocean. As principal conductor of both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Houston Symphony Orchestra, I make a minimum of four trips a year to Europe and back.

What these people are actually engaging in is a form of snobbery." Chaytor Mason, a psychologist at the University of Southern California, agrees and adds a few additional non-TV types to the list: "the high-button-shoes, who have refused to change over from radio," the "active personalities like Harriet Housewife, who have too much to do or can't sit still," and the across-the-board mavericks, who just have...
...they have paid the federal government alone some $1.2 billion. Pushing slowly out to meet them are complex pipelaying barges that cost as much as $8,000,000 to build and $38,000 a day to operate. The area is "exploding with action," says William C. Keefe, president of Houston's Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. He should know.
