...drawback is that its flight patterns would overlap those of the present lakefront jetport. Existing flight patterns also crowd New York planners. Engineer James J. Currey Sr. suggests rearranging them to make room for a new pile-supported jetport in the shallows behind Sandy Hook. Space Planner Lawrence Lerner would create new landing space by (in effect) moving a greatly enlarged J.F.K. Airport onto a nine-mile-long concrete island five miles off Long Beach and looping existing land transportation right through it, with parking garages and rapid-transit stops near every plane-departure lounge...
...Lerner estimates that more than two-thirds of the $6 billion needed for his offshore jetport could be raised by the sale and development of the old J.F.K. Airport on Jamaica Bay.

President Richard Nixon's inaugural speech, generally considered one of the best of his career, received high marks for empathy with the temper of the nation. It was summed up best by the New York Post's Max Lerner: "Mainly, it fitted in with the mood of the people-far better than most wishful Democrats would agree. What they want most, after all the confrontations and anger and hate, is a quieter breathing spell in which America can catch up with the gains registered on its statute-books and its conscience...
