And there's birthday party for a newspaper on March 4. And a Business School graduate is interested in expanding Boston's cultural horizons...
THERE IS so little room for life in this world. Even the Civil Aeronautics Board should cherish it, but it doesn't. The CAB is threatening to end the Youth Fare privileges for travellers from ages 12 to 21. The System is trying to squeeze the life from air travel to the great silver birds can fly in peace...
