...miniskirted hookers are still out in force, most of the bars and strip joints are half empty. There are fewer suckers to buy endless rounds of watered-down drinks (at $2.50 a shot) for B-girls who deliver only promises, promises. Such famed attractions as Ronnie Bell and Her Twin Liberty Bells, who work the Villanova Show Bar, and 6-ft. 6-in. Kitty, a few doors down at Club Troc, have trouble piling up bar tabs. Some club owners complain that today's movies, which are consistently more erotic than any cabaret act, are keeping customers away. While...
...frequently hauls passengers as well. A visitor has to be nerveless to endure the trip. Approaching the coast at dusk, the planes are occasionally shot at by Nigerian antiaircraft batteries.

Non-discrimination is, of course, the test that the court and the Examiner claim Youth Fare does not pass. But the question of "reasonableness" is also worth looking at, if only to dispel the misconceptions of those who resented Youth Fare...
...would take a train. I would refuse to spend the day at Logan, waiting, hopefully, in a queue, like an impassive refugee, waiting for permission to move one again. For, I knew, if the lady from Eastern--or, for that matter, her twin at American or TWA--only wished, she could cancel life altogether, just as she had already cancelled the possibility of my reaching New York or Philadelphia. Then she and her crones would tag us and stamp us and send all of us off like so much excess baggage. So, partly in cowardice, partly in frustration, and mostly...
