...Indeed, air carriers find themselves in a peculiar bind. Demand is high: the number of domestic air travelers is forecast to grow by at least 25% a year through 2010, according to Sydney-based Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), an industry consultancy. Yet due to the air-transportation system's capacity constraints, carriers are being forced to fight for new business by engaging in profit-destroying fare wars. Air Deccan, for example, advertises a special fare of just $6.60 plus taxes for a flight from New Delhi to Jaipur. Add in higher fuel prices...
...meanwhile, Jet Airways, the country's largest full-service carrier, is buying rival Air Sahara for $340 million. The mergers are "an attempt by players to basically get some kind of stability into the market," says Kapil Kaul, New Delhi-based CEO for India and the Middle East at CAPA. "There's been a massive induction of capacity over the past few years. What we're seeing now is sanity beginning to prevail...
...brought [modern day] martyrdom alive,? says Scott Moreau, a professor of missiology at Wheaton College. ?It made it real.? But, in fact, two accelerants came into play.

...picture of a man staring up at one of the smoking World Trade Center towers perfectly renders the initial astonishment before it turned to horror. Letizia Battaglia, who risked her life to photograph the Mafia in Sicily, is treated with no less respect than exemplary war photographer Robert Capa. Gideon Mendel, who has doggedly tracked aids around the world, has equal billing with Martin Parr, England's foremost photographic satirist of class and consumerism. In his wicked portrait of a couple seated in a restaurant, the romance of married life seems to belong in the barely remembered past. The book...
Like Robert Capa and Margaret Bourke-White, Carl Mydans helped to transform American photojournalism from a source of inert head shots and ceremonious poses into a supple narrative art. As a staff photographer for LIFE, Mydans was present and accounted for at the darkest moments of a dark century: the Depression, World War II, Korea and Viet Nam. The retrospective of his work at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth offers a chance to review his pictures uncoupled from the periods they defined and the magazine pages they were designed to serve. A museum show is the acid test...
