People last week started service from its Newark hub to Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth, two of the most hotly competitive markets in the U.S., and announced plans to begin flying to Brussels in September. The moves follow forays over the past seven months into 13 other new cities, including Montreal and Fort Lauderdale.

Here is Haile Selassie, dwarfed behind a desk only slightly smaller than an aircraft carrier. Here is Sir Sidney Barton, the eccentric British envoy who provided the model for Sir Samson Courteney in Evelyn Waugh's farce Black Mischief. Here are camels and trucks, scimitars and machine guns, lions and airplanes in a clash of politics and, more significantly, of centuries. It is a tribute...
