"Should be used in all economic, political science, public finance and sociology courses — and even education, law, psychology and history . . . each chapter (self-contained) should be discussed, dis-cussed and discussed . . ."

In 1970, American Airlines added another university city

to its network.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND From Auckland we can fly you to

44 United States cities. To univer-sities, or vacation spots. Across the Pacific, to Mexico, Canada . . . the Caribbean. And to connections for every major European capital.

Thousands of feet above the blue Pacific you can enjoy the taste of true American hospitality. Lavish meals that are actually cooked on board while we fly (never simply re-

heated). Fast, friendly service, for we love to entertain.

Like to listen to a symphony? Lie back and enjoy the privacy of Astro-Stereo* music through your individ-ual headset. Or watch a first-run movie in Astro Color*, again with in-dividual sound.

Or just relax. American Airlines make flying a great experience.
