...totally dedicated to burning their lives out like roman candles in mad pursuit of the Edge, Carter and Steele have found an economical and princely mode of transport. Riding on stuffed sofas and listening to eight-track-tape rock, they ride from Snoqualmie to Mt. Hood to Mammoth to Squaw Valley with Carter's old skiing buddy Charley Goodrich in the Head ski van, which tends to the needs of Head racers at major events...

It is increasing production of liquefied-natural-gas tankers that sell for $100 million each to transport gas from Algeria, Indonesia...
After months of excited talk about sensational fare cuts on flights across the North Atlantic this summer, international airlines finally gave passengers the real news last week: starting April 15, rates will, in fact, go up. The 109 lines that are members of the International Air Transport Association, the industry's rate-fixing cartel, actually decided to continue fares at present levels through the rest of 1973-with certain adjustments to reflect recent rejiggering of currency-exchange ratios. For Americans paying for their tickets in devalued dollars, prices will thus rise an average 6%, boosting the round-trip cost...
