The Skies Belong To Us by Brendan Koerner is an enjoyable read and I want to know what happened to Cathy Kerkow. Also remarkable that airlines were just able to make people put up with skyjacking for a decade because they were cheap and could bully Congress.

The Right Stuff really does deserve its reputation as a classic. Tom Wolfe was cooking with that one.

Perhaps no book better illustrates the leverage powerful business cartels have over public policy!

that's a deep pull. I remember marveling at a lot of it (including the poor planning of some of the hijackers). IIRC, there was a time when there was there was one hijacking a week
