DIED. DOWAGER VISCOUNTESS DILHORNE, 93, who trained pigeons to carry secret communications during World War II; in Northamptonshire, England. Lady Dilhorne's carrier pigeons returned to her home west of London with coded messages strapped to their legs that had been sent by secret agents and resistance fighters in Germany and occupied Europe. Her daughter Eliza Manningham-Buller is head of Britain's MI5 Security Service...
...unpleasant topic. That is what some Republicans worry has been lacking since Hughes left Bush's side. "This wouldn't be happening if Karen were here," a top G.O.P. adviser to the White House groaned during last year's flap over Bush's flight-suited landing on an aircraft carrier to declare the end of "major combat operations" in Iraq.

Last year, simply showing the footage of Bush aboard the famous aircraft carrier, scored by the “The Daily Show” theme song, did the work of a million mockeries before a joke was delivered...
...borders. Discount dynamo JetBlue Airways announced plans last week to start its first foreign route in June when it intends to fly from New York City to the Dominican Republic. Fares are expected to be as low as $268 round trip, vs. $423 currently on American Airlines. Low-fare carrier America West said last week it is adding more routes to cities in Canada and Mexico. Fares on flights from Las Vegas to Calgary start at $242 round trip. AirTran Airways, which is aggressively challenging Delta Airlines, starts fares from Atlanta and Baltimore to the Bahamas...
