...Air carriers find themselves in a peculiar bind. Demand is high: the number of domestic travelers is forecast to grow at least 25% a year through 2010, according to the Sydney-based Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), an industry consultancy. Yet carriers such as low-cost upstarts Air Deccan, IndiGo, GoAir and SpiceJet have added so many flights--even though there's no place to land them--that profit-destroying fare wars have broken out. Air Deccan, for example, advertises a fare of just $6.60 plus taxes for a 45-min. flight from New Delhi to Jaipur...
...result: consolidation amid plenty. In March the government approved a long-planned merger between state-owned carriers Air India and Indian Airlines. Meanwhile, Jet Airways, the country's largest full-service carrier, is buying rival Air Sahara for $340 million and, perhaps more important, more gates at congested airports.

When I was a kid in Arkansas in the 1980s, we viewed Dallas with something approaching reverence. Mine was a fairly conservative family, aspirational. We passionately golfed and occasionally visited Neiman Marcus, the Dallas clothier that taught the South how to wear Versace and an air of profligacy. I wanted to drive a Mercedes and order bourbon and branch the way J.R. Ewing did. I wanted to go out with a Cowboys cheerleader with marcelled blond hair. The summer I was 13, Ronald Reagan was renominated in Dallas, and I signed up to be a young volunteer...
...story of Dallas' transformation properly begins in 1991, coincidentally the same year Dallas went off the air. That March, a judge ruled the city's representation should be recut into 14 city-council seats in order to ensure more minority representation. Blacks, Hispanics and gays benefited from the decentralization; the first openly gay city-council member was elected...
