Drink and Travel. In this summer of America's economic discontent, oddly, the travel industry may be enjoying its most lucrative season ever. "There are two things Americans always do," says Clarence Stansbury of Michigan's Automobile Club. "Drink and travel." Despite inflation, recession, unemployment, few are willing to forgo at least a brief period of summer's ease. Indeed the impulse to get away from it all is, if anything, even more intense this year. There is so much more to get away from. Observed Hugh Johnson, an American Express manager in Beverly Hills, Calif.: "People...
Next week the airlines will carry the millionth passenger to travel on a 747. Pan American World Airways, which has the largest fleet of the planes, has been flying them 64% full but can come out ahead with only a 40% load. Largely because of the 747, Pan Am turned in a profit in May after eight months of losses.

...that would float on the ocean just offshore, or hang on cliffs, or sail around the earth out in space. Soleri thinks that if the structures are planned well enough, natural recreation areas could be integrated into humanely constructed working and living spaces. People would no longer have to travel interminably to get to their jobs. These complexes, each of which would house about a million people, would be connected by extensive networks of rapid transit facilities. The earth could then cover itself with forest once again, and men could build structures that would relate to the environment...
