...Twenty minutes before the 7 p.m. start of the Precinct 93 Democratic caucus near the airport, the big auditorium in Kurtz School was already divided into camps: John Edwards' and Barack Obama's supporters at the front corners; Hillary Clinton's in the center, and small enclaves of supporters for Joe Biden and Chris Dodd in the rear corners. Edwards had won this middle-class precinct four years ago, but at the outset it was far from clear that anyone had an edge among the 200 or so people who were there...
...share of Moore at his most middlebrow: the white fiberglass version of Large Reclining Figure that Moore ordered up in 1984 - a bloviating enlargement of what had been a suave little totem when he first fashioned it in 1938 in gratifying dark lead - belongs at an airport. But set against the greenery of Kew, his way of conflating the curves of the human body with the swells of landscape is effective again. And his two- and three-part reclining figures, like Reclining Figure: Arch Leg from 1969, with its complicated balance of volume and void, are proof that Moore...
This December has been particularly bad for Delhi's domestic and international airports. An airport radar broke down on December 8 and some 40 flights were delayed.

Earlier this month, a state-level minister was hurt when the driver of the boarding bus braked suddenly to avoid a collision at Delhi's domestic airport. The bus driver had been talking on a cell phone...
...another sound: the ka-ching! of money. For years the Yazegi Group had a captive market of 1.48 million Palestinians living in the narrow coastal strip of Gaza. Captive, unfortunately, is the right word because the Israelis, who are contending daily with rocket-firing Palestinian militants, have destroyed the airport and harbor and keep Gaza's inhabitants behind a concrete-and-barbed-wire fence that is 25 miles (40 km) long. Gaza has one entry and exit point, which the Israelis strictly control. Gazans refer to their overcrowded enclave without too much exaggeration as "the world's largest prison yard...
