...Concorde is a commercial calamity. It reverses decades of air transport progress, namely increased speed combined with greater efficiency to produce lower fares. Any airline operating the Concorde would be forced to cross-subsidize it. i.e.. raise subsonic fares. I hope no airport operator in the U.S. would be foolish enough to let this noisy, smoky, expensive pre-ecology-awarencss De Gaulle legacy land...

Nor do undertakers object to the trend. Many are retained by medical schools to store or transport bodies, and have enough traditional patrons to keep them busy...
...killing the Nixon Administration's plans to build a supersonic jet transport last year. Congress was influenced by some persuasive arguments against the plane: it would be extremely costly (an estimated $1.5 billion for development of two prototypes), create window-shattering sonic booms all across the countryside, and possibly even leave enough carbon dioxide in the upper layers of the atmosphere to change the earth's climate. Now Robert T. Jones of NASA'S Ames Research Center, near San Francisco, has suggested a radical new SST design that he claims would overcome most of these objections...

Fateful Vacation. He went on to build more houses, buy apartments, acquire theaters and take over the regional Wurlitzer jukebox distributorship. By the time World War II hit, Wilson was rich. But he sold out everything for $250,000, joined the Air Transport Command and piloted C-47s over the Himalayan hump, probably the hairiest air route of the war. After being mustered out, he bought an Orange Crush distributorship, but it soured, and he lost $100,000. So he went back to construction and built a fortune of about $1,000,000, all the while sharpening his skills...
