Years ago travel accomodations were far more comfortable, even tourist
class seating on planes was more spacious than today's first class.
Today's automobiles are made for midgets... a late model Mercedes
hasn't much more seating space than a VW bug. I used to drive a '78
Eldorado... about a year ago I had the occasion to sit in the rear
seat of a new Caddy, no leg room and I'm barely 6', I had to sit
sideways. My old Eldorado could easily seat six NBAers.
