...announced that it would ground the nonskeds as of June 20. After that, any "large" irregular carrier (i.e., flying any airplane heavier than 10,000 Ibs.) would have to have CAB's permission to stay in business. In granting permits, CAB would hold the nonskeds accountable for such past sins as flying on what amounted to regular schedules, and thus, according to scheduled airlines, taking business away from them.

...WELL OF THE PAST (221 pp.)-Charles Norman-Doubleday...
Charles Norman pretty certainly knew the kind of people he has written about in this, his first, novel. At 44, and New York born-&-raised, he has produced six small volumes of poetry himself.

Instead, they have speculated and commented, with varying degrees of critical acumen and psychological acuteness, on his published works. One result is that in the past 50 years a series of well-nigh indistinguishable opuses have been written about him. Their general story is that Hawthorne was descended from one of the witchcraft judges of Salem; that his father, a sea captain, died when he was three; that he went to Bowdoin, lived in seclusion after...
