...Boeing 737 - Stonecipher had told his salespeople he would travel anywhere in the world, even on Christmas Day, if he was needed to close a deal. No one called. "That troubled me. The whole idea is that I will go anywhere for them," he says. It's a safe bet, too, that Stonecipher won't be jetting to Toulouse this week to join four European leaders, over a dozen airline CEOs, scores of journalists and more than 5,000 invited guests at Airbus headquarters, where his rival, Airbus CEO Noël Forgeard, is officially unveiling the mammoth A380, which...

...York City Am I the only one who has noticed that it's practically impossible to find no-salt (or truly low-salt) foods in grocery stores? Where have all the no-salt foods gone? There are many of those new low-fat and low-carb foods, but I bet they contain more sodium to make up for a lack of taste. Nowadays everybody is expected to just take a prescription medication to solve blood-pressure problems. I want to combat hypertension through diet and exercise, not by taking pills. Listen up, marketers: Low carb is out; no salt...
