...Golden Calf” alternates points of view among a wide array of people—artists, office clerks, riddlers, poets, madmen, accountants, Catholic priests, authors and photographers—while concentrating its plot on the work of a band of thieves. The story focuses on four of these thieves; they are conspiring to rob and bring to ruin their associate, the malevolent Korieko, who, it just so happens, is a secret millionaire—an “underground Rockefeller...
...Warier and Bhushi do most of the cooking themselves. (Both are accomplished home cooks; Bhushi also worked as a part-time caterer while studying for a Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Chicago.) They do not cook in bulk or cut corners, so each dish has a distinct array of flavors.

As you might have guessed, "there is no silver bullet" to fix the problem, the authors write. But they posit an array of sensible suggestions that could help curb soaring delays. Among the ideas are congestion pricing, airport privatization and high-speed rail systems as an alternative to flights shorter than 500 miles (routes that carry 31% of all passengers). Let's hope someone's listening. We may not enjoy being...
