...millions of young people who have roamed the Continent with a pack on their back and Eurail pass in hand can attest, there is something quintessentially European about traveling by train. Or was. European airline deregulation 12 years ago has turned hopping on a plane into a bargain-basement no-brainer. Thanks mostly to the increased competition, improved services and lower prices spawned by regulatory liberalization, air travel in Europe grew at an average annual rate of 4.5% between 1995 and 2005. Over the same period, the total number of miles traveled by all rail passengers chugged along at less...
...collective brutality and guilt in a small German village two decades before Hitler took power. This is a pure art film, daunting and demanding, spare and unsparing, making no concession to the prevailing popular taste - except, perhaps, film-festival taste. It was also, as we two Cannes veterans attest, the finest work in the competition.

Mexico and China enjoy an excellent diplomatic relationship, which was further enhanced by Mr. Xi's trip. Jorge...
...travelers, Phillips points out. The Port of Houston has been one of the fastest-growing ports in the country, with a significant amount of trade from Mexico, and trade also flows into inland ports like Fort Worth's Alliance Texas Logistics Park. As residents of Midland, Texas, can attest, the constant rumble of freight trains coming up from Mexico's deep water ports on the Pacific Coast is further evidence of the deep economic relationship...
