...Mobilization Committee has chartered one train from Boston, one from New Haven, and two from New York to transport some of the students. However, each train will carry only 1500 students. Chartered busses will take another 15,000 from the Boston area, but only in time for the Saturday march...
...longtime Vientiane observer notes. The silver fleets of the CIA contract carriers, Air America and Continental Airlines, have for years provided tactical support for the most effective government force in Laos-General Vang Pao's Meo tribesmen. The CIA men and the military advisers train, equip, support and transport the entire Royal Laotian military effort. Americans have been known to advise on tactics on the battalion level...

The board is likely to approve. By acting without the consent of the International Air Transport Association, the three lines threatened the whole labyrinthine fare structure and set the stage for a searching reassessment...

Each step will eventually be taken for the same reason that man climbed Mount Everest: it was there, waiting to be conquered. The still unresolved questions, which Congress must answer, are whether technology must move at a forced-march pace, and whether the boom of supersonic flight in the 1970s is worth the proposed investment of national talent and treasure...
