...remember an amiable conductor collecting tickets right before the crash. I heared him say to one passenger anxious to get to his destination, "Don't look so worried, it's not that bad." His words to a young couple directly behind me were, "Move to one of the first three cars for Springfield." These were ominous words...
Grant, nevertheless, that colorization does turn art into junk. Our culture produces megatons of junk every year. Why not let the market decide? What's with the boycotts? If the colorized version is as bad as the critics claim, it will fail for good capitalist reasons. No one will watch it. When enough people lose enough money in any venture, it dies; 3-D died. At best (or worst), colorization might carve out a market niche for a small group of cultural illiterates, the video equivalent of Classic Comics...
...flow plan has indeed reduced the number of aircraft stacked in the skies in bad weather around major airports. Instead, the delays are taken in "gate holds" on the ground; planes are not allowed to leave until they have a chance to land promptly at their next stop.

This too would have been legal -- there was no agreement to keep the collection intact -- but when...
...practices." The American Academy of Pediatrics has a different criticism of the nonbinding CPSC request. Last November it called for an outright ban of ATVs for those under age 16. "For crying out loud," says Dr. Joseph Greensher, who chaired the A.A.P.'s study committee. "If the product is bad enough to tell the manufacturers not to sell them, why allow them to remain in the marketplace at all?" Stronger roadblocks may soon be set up on the local level. Next week Tucson will hold a public hearing on whether the city should be off limits to all ATVs...
