Diffr'nt strokes for different folks. I can travel from Springfield, IL
to Chicage in about 3 1/2 hours on the train. And I'm right in the middle
of Chicago when I arrive. If I fly I have to arrange a ride to the aero-
drome or leave my car in long-term parking. Thwn when I arrive in Chicago 
(Midway, O'Hare or Meigs) I either have to take a cab or airport 'limo"
to a Hotel. or rent a car.  IOW about the same or more time and *much*
more hassle.
