Lewis Jordan, president of ValuJet, which bases its 47-plane fleet in Atlanta, says Delta, its looming neighbor at Hartsfield Airfield, has nothing to fear.

The Callahan retrospective that continues through May 19 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, then moves to Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit and Chicago, makes one thing plain: if he ever develops a legend, it will be the story of a man who brought a unique intensity to the discovery that what the camera might give him was a glimpse of his own internal life...
