While a shiny sports car may be Wolcowitz's favorite toy, the diversion hasn't kept him out of trouble. Perhaps one of Wolcowitz's most interesting experiences with his Miata came several years ago when he had to pick up his mother at Logan Airport...
...last Thursday, they all gathered for a signing ceremony. The Americans signed nothing, but the Bosnian Serbs, with Milosevic as witness, put their signatures to the agreement to withdraw most of their heavy weapons from around Sarajevo. They agreed to open the Bosnian capital's main roads and airport to unrestricted U.N. traffic. Milosevic kept one copy of the document, and Holbrooke took two copies with him to Zagreb to show to U.N. officials and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and then to Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic...
...Friday some compliance with the agreement had begun. Journalists were taken by Bosnian Serb authorities to witness removal of three T-55 tanks, three 105-mm howitzers and several mortars, but the journalists were not allowed to see where the weapons were taken.

Under a long-suspected scenario, the Boeing 737 jet might have run into air turbulence created by the jet that preceded it into Pittsburgh International Airport. "The four-mile separation may prove not to have been enough," Hannifin says. If the new tests produce evidence to substantiate the theory, he adds, the FAA could consider spacing planes farther apart on runways, despite the resulting delays...
