I could look down from the mountains and see the town and the trees and I got to thinking that some day I would have the means to set up a real training camp for a real fight in a place just like this." It took him six long years...

What makes the Thruway remarkable is not its length but its good-sense planning. Following the historic route from New York up the Hudson to Albany, then west through the Mohawk Valley to Buffalo, it passes within 20 miles of 85% of the state's 15 million residents. Spurs to the Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey turnpikes, Garden State Parkway, the Pennsylvania state line and Niagara Falls will add 137 miles and make it the best integrated of all toll roads. The spurs and a smoothly planned system of interchanges will also help overcome the vexing problems of entry...
