"As in every other new field, the history of commercial space flight will be filled with tales of success and failure; of geniuses, dreamers, and con-men; of hopes too big to accomplish and of accomplishments exceeding hopes.

— M. Bruce Johnson, "Is the Sun Setting on the American Dream?"
"How well is airline deregulation working? There are several important indicators. The majority of fares are lower than they would have been under regulation. New airlines are sprouting up left and right. Aggressive competitors are making money. And deregulation is spreading to Europe."
—Robert Poole Jr. and Christina Dorffi, "Trends"
