...provisions-especially on fishing rights-favor Japanese industry. Apart from that, all Korean youths have been brought up on a propaganda and textbook diet of hatred for Japan as Korea's traditional foe.

Many taximen provide sandwiches and drinks, sell flight insurance, even let holders of well-known credit cards charge their flights...
...Typical of the type is nine-plane Pilgrim Airlines, which has tripled its business in five years (to 15,000 passengers a year) by offering six scheduled flights a day from New London, Conn., to New York's Kennedy Airport. The trip costs $14.50 and takes only 50 min. instead of the three hours by car. Such regular commuter flights have become important sources of traffic for the major carriers.
