...world's largest air carrier, moved to plug its one geographical hole late Tuesday by forking over a total of $14 billion for Northeast-centric US Airways, formerly US Air, formerly a combination of Allegheny Air, Piedmont Air, Pacific Southwest and Mohawk Airlines... The new mega-carrier will boast revenues of $26.5 billion from multiple hubs on both coasts and 6,500 daily flights, nearly twice as many as its nearest competitor, American. Like any merger, it's an economy of scale - more northeastern flights feeding seamlessly into those lucrative long-distance flights means more one-stop United shopping...

Zemekis has wrapped his production in a shroud of secrecy, although the film is said to boast computer effects and shocks in the tradition of his earlier films Forrest Gump and the dubious Death Becomes Her.

(Work up a sweat, and try one of the algae shakes from room service.) The Lowell's "gym suite" has one of two bedrooms given over to a complete exercise center, including a balance...
...standing in a Bush presidency. And when voters consider that the next president could be responsible for replacing a number of Supreme Court Justices, the implication that Bush would be unwilling to change the status quo on guns may become even less palatable. Feeling the heat over the boast, a Bush campaign spokesman was quick to deny that their man is close to the NRA, telling the Post, "Neither the NRA or any other special interest sets the governor's agenda." But, says Tumulty, managers will have their work cut out for them keeping the NRA and its supporters...
