...President was visibly excited on the ride out to the airport and obviously engaged during the immense welcome ceremony the next day. The contrast between the swaggering born-again Texan and the cerebral Catholic scholar seems stark. Indeed, there is plenty to separate them, particularly their views of the Iraq war. But there is also much to unite them, especially at this moment in both their careers. They share a taste for straight talk and simple truths as weapons against doubt and denial: on stem-cell research, abortion and religious violence, they are brothers in arms. "We need your message...
...rest of us. The answer appears to be found instead in the realm of public image and power. Recent examples of resilient political couplings are not hard to find. Idaho Senator Larry Craig’s wife stood by him while he was accused of soliciting sex in an airport men’s restroom. More recently, Silda Wall Spitzer was there for her husband (and the press conference cameras) while he resigned as New York’s governor after getting caught up in an expensive prostitution ring...
...Rough sleepers," as homeless people are known in Britain, are sheltering incognito at many of the world's major airports, says Sandie Cox of Heathrow Travel Care, the organization overseeing the one-year pilot scheme. Chicago's O'Hare instituted a homeless outreach in the 1990s. Several others, including Newark-Liberty in New Jersey and Los Angeles' LAX, have done the same.

They are beneficiaries of the democratization of flight: gone are the days when you could identify British air travelers by their neat suits and shiny shoes. Two scruffy passengers we discovered curled in the corner of a remote bathroom turned out to be holding tickets to LAX. They had chosen their spot because...
Though I was pretty beered out by the end of my three-day stay, we made a pre-airport stop at a homey, British-style pub called the Bull & Bush, a microbrewery where the vintage-beer menu includes a bottle of Thomas Hardy's Ale from 1980 for $35 and a Chimay Grand Reserve from 1999 for $60. To my shock, while I waited for my delayed flight at Denver International, I stopped at the New Belgium Pub, where I had one of its malty Fat Tire ales. I don't know if there are any studies on this...
