...worse, and the ones who stayed in New York had no fixed opinions on street life whatsoever, having been forced to stay indoors all summer to avoid death by smog poisoning. There were also, of course, hundreds of kids dispersed across the country, picking watermelons in Georgia or salmon fishing in Alaska who were much too busy, too happy, or too far from the streets to worry about sexism or incidental acts of perversion.

Though airline executives can decide what kind of planes to buy, how often to fly them and whether to serve steak or salmon aloft, regulatory agencies and Congress, to which the regulators are responsible, have authority over safety rules, routes and fares. Last week Washington's Warren Magnuson, chairman of the Senate aviation subcommittee, announced that he will open hearings next month on "the deteriorating situation in the air-transport industry."
