...were no skid marks to indicate that Kennedy had braked the car or had even been aware that he was in danger. It is known, however, that some members of Kennedy's entourage refuse to ride with him because he is such a daredevil driver, and Kennedy incurred four traffic convictions in the '50s, two for speeding and two for reckless driving...
...major problem with space law is who will be its judge. Some space lawyers believe that eventual disputes over the moon will most likely be resolved through direct negotiations between the states concerned. This will almost certainly be the case for such vital questions as lunar communications and traffic control of spacecraft.

...commuters mostly fly small prop planes, but they owe their development to the jet age. Larger airlines have left the field clear for them in towns and cities where meager traffic will not support the costly big transports. And in many cases, the small carriers have made themselves essential. Rural Spencer, Iowa, found itself so isolated that town officials invited Minnesota's Fleet Airlines to provide regular service to larger cities and happily agreed to make up any losses...
