Superintendent Raftery thinks that the park can accommodate a training field, but not a commercial airport and a projected community of 1,000,000 people. By now, though, Dade County envisages more runways soon and by 1980, the nation's biggest commercial airport, covering more land than the entire city of Miami. Equally enthusiastic, the U.S. Transportation Department has granted $700,000 to develop the first runway, and to look into high-speed ground transportation, such as a monorail train and air-cushion vehicles running between the jetport and Miami...

Pointing to congested court dockets, Burger called for a conference within 60 days of ten or twelve of "the best-in formed people in this country" to plan a program to train the large numbers of managers that are needed.

...labor-management bitterness has been left by a slowdown last summer in the Dunton car-repair shop, which has never returned to its old operating pace, and a week of wildcat strikes and slowdowns that greeted the introduction of a new timetable last fall. One commuter recently phoned for train information and was told by a recorded voice that his call was being held for the next available clerk.
