...bicycle as the ideal means of transportation. "The cyclist can reach new destinations of his choice without his tool creating new locations from where he's barred," he writes. Anyone who has ever endeavored to circumnavigate New York's Kennedy Airport on foot will immediately recognize his point. The Port Authority, in this case, has decided that even the casual visitor must ride a bus in order to merely enter the terminal next door. "The use of the bicycle is self-limiting. It allows people to create a new relationship between their life-time and life-space," he says. "Their...
...Kennedy interests. Then, suddenly, the community's trust in the firm's integrity went flat when the press began to report accusations that Maguire had bowed to political pressure and changed a report it had done in East Boston to suit the wishes of members of the Massachusetts Port Authority.

Largely because of repeated devaluations of the U.S. dollar and upward revaluations of the German mark, the price of Volkswagens in the past 18 months rose 30% in the U.S., a market that accounts for one-third of all Beetle sales worldwide. The port-of-entry price of a Super Beetle in the U.S., without options or accessories, is $2,849, compared with a basic $2,442 for a similarly stripped-down Ford Pinto.
