Various other limitations -New York even requires that need be proved-may have held down the number of those applying for grants.

Duddy Kravitz never developed a set of principles as he lurched down the road of success...

But does it have a case for subsidy by any name? Should taxpayers in, say, Tulsa, Des Moines and Wichita (who do not see Pan Am aircraft at local airports) be called upon to keep Pan Am flying?
