...those horrible incidents that sends chills down the spine. On May 11, 1996, after a cargo fire tore through the passenger cabin of a ValuJet DC-9, the airplane plunged straight down into the Florida Everglades, killing all 110 people aboard. On Tuesday, Florida prosecutors moved to criminalize the conclusions of air safety investigators: Improperly packaged oxygen canisters ignited the fire that caused the crash. State prosecutors charged the maintenance company, SabreTech, with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, both felonies, because of what they alleged was the unlawful transportation of hazardous waste. A separate federal indictment charged three...
...packing and unpacking, plenty of time to relax, and enough food and entertainment to satisfy the most committed sybarite--all at one price. Cruise lines typically have two or three seasons. A seven-night Mediterranean cruise on Premier's elegant Rembrandt runs $1,498 to $2,998 (depending on cabin choice); it's $100 per person more May 31 through Sept. 6.

Then you take off. Forty minutes later, you land in Coober Pedy, with dead flies in your...
...Savana is bigger than a Chevy Suburban but smaller than a Winnebago, and there's nothing mini about it--especially since the Explorer Van conversion company got through with it. It's a full-size van with a raised roof so you can easily move about the wood-clad cabin. Its sheer size gives you an enviable advantage over just about anything else on the road--personal space. Its two rows of captain's chairs and a rear bench seat mean the kids are rarely within reach of one another. Which, of course, is how sibling love flourishes on lengthy...
