8 TEXAS ALMANAC-1968-1969
Tex c as
has shrunk.
And we're proud to say
that Braniff is very largely
responsible.
We were the ones who
connected most of Texas'
major cities by air, so that now
Amarillo is only minutes away
from Brownsville. But try to
think back just a few years.
Amarillo and Brownsville
seemed so far apart it was hard
to realize they were part of
the same continent, let alone
part of the same state. Unless
a Texan could drop everything
for a few years and just
wander around, he never did
get to see a really good chunk
of Texas.Which must have
been a pretty depressing
situation.
Now, however, a Texan can
flit from Dallas to San
Antonio to Corpus Christi.
He can, with the greatest of
ease, see more of Texas than
almost any Texan ever saw
before him.
So maybe it was wrong to
say Texas has shrunk. Maybe
we should have said that
Texans have expanded.
