While Alitalia represents a final chapter in the consolidation of European flag carriers, Spinetta insists that the next big development in the sector--transatlantic deregulation--will send shock waves around the globe. The U.S. and E.U. recently agreed on a long-sought open-skies accord. "And things change considerably from there. That won't just lead to reinforced partnerships between airlines but will also encourage other open-skies treaties between the U.S. and Asia, and Asia and the E.U." In other words, the real battle of the world's skies is only starting--just as Air France can feel confident...
Only after reading Jerry Kaplan's book on GO Corp.--a former tech high flyer that flamed out--did Alvelda realize the marketability of a concept contained in a chapter of his 1995 Ph.D. thesis. That concept begat MicroDisplay, his first start-up, that same year and united his twin passions: education and technology. "There is an aspect of education and communication that helps people to grow personally that I never anticipated as part of the corporate world," he says...
What apparently went on at DePauw University late last year was a scene straight out of the history books: unabashed, ugly discrimination. In a scene that belied fifty years of progress on American college campuses, 23 of the 35 women of the DePauw chapter of the Delta Zeta (DZ) sorority, including every overweight member, and the only black, Vietnamese, and Korean members, were summarily uprooted from their house and effectively evicted from their chapter, by many accounts part of an image makeover mandated by adult officers of DZ’s national organization.

In a section headed "Final Chapter Golden Boy," Abbasi writes that the f.b.i. is studying tapes of Golden Boy, who he says wanted to "go back to Australia and rob and kill Jews," crash a plane into a building, and "go out with that last big adrenalin rush." He also says Hicks would pose a threat if released. "He once told me in Afghanistan that if he were to go into a building of Jews with an automatic...
...most Americans are not particularly well informed. Rather than scripting a manifesto proposing a way to cure the titular “struggle,” which would have been dull and ineffective, Barrett takes the approach of introducing his audience to genuine American Muslims. Each of the seven chapters describes a person who epitomizes a facet of Muslim life in America. Barrett introduces each one masterfully: his publisher, scholar, imam, feminist, mystic, webmaster, and activist are lifted off the page. Each chapter’s title is a generalized description of one of the characters (such...
