"Captain Dudley". Had the equivalent of a private pilot's certificate. Flew for
American until they figured things out. Then landed a job with another airline,
blew an approach, and crashed, killing most of the passengers. He finally committed

Love, n.: A form of temporary insanity afflicting the young. It is curable
either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.
