I should have tweeted at the mayor of Toronto's AMA today asking how I should quit his cable company. AMC plays Under Siege all week!!

Anyway the previous mayor didn't run the cable company so I had no stake in all that.

Hailey wrote his 1968 mod bestseller just as airports became the 24hr city ports. Technoplex analogue realism.

Yet still the era when airport terminals were art objects. Saarinen's JFK & Dulles. LAX. And Parkin's Aeroquay One in Toronto.

Mostly watching Airport on TCM you appreciate how great it was to be in a confined space with 200 people smoking cigarettes. Modernity.

Also interesting about pre-Roe vs Wade 1970 Airport: Dean Martin & Jacqueline Bisset talking about abortion w/out talking about abortion.

@shawnmicallef Obviously "Airport" influenced by the great Hemingway story "Hills like White Elephants" (also about coded abortion talk).
