...experts over the rapidly rising number of aircraft now swarming around the most heavily used air routes in the U.S. While scheduled airlines have increased flights by some 6% to meet added business spurred by lower fares, the growth in general aviation has been far more spectacular (see chart, page 20). The newcomers range from business executives flying to conferences aboard $3 million corporate jets, to affluent ranchers surveying their lands, to various weekend wanderers seeking relaxation or adventure. Last week there naturally rose urgent demands for greater separation of the commercial air giants and the pygmies, higher proficiency requirements...
Rarely is the subjective censoring of opinions--both on the front page and the editorial page--of a newspaper apparent to the innocent eye. The process works in a variety of subtle ways.

...unions of writers and editors. Owners of both individual newspapers and large chains have undermined the unity of news and editorial writers' guilds by splitting news and editorial departments in half.

Conspicuously absent are the kind of late-breaking...
Sundays are especially trying. That is the day when, before the strike, masochistic New Yorkers took perverse delight in setting aside eight or nine hours for plowing through the 4-lb., 400-page Sunday Times to reassure themselves that nothing had really happened after all. "My Sundays are ruined!" cries Paula Gamache, a senior treasury analyst for Revlon, Inc. "There's no substitute for the crossword puzzle. I do it every week, I'm that compulsive." To fill the empty hours, Pronto, a trendy East Side Italian restaurant, is offering a Sunday brunch for the first time, and similar affairs...
