...fantasies (remember Daedalus and Icarus?)—is not just efficiency. It’s the fact that airplanes allow us to jump over undesirable places. Coast to coast flight is implicitly about the Middleland, which we may get to know through the comforting familiarity of islands like Cincinnati or Atlanta. The Middleland is a vast sea populated by atolls, stopover oases in the middle of an untraversable desert. Its airports simply reproduce the array of gates, fast-food establishments and X-ray machines that we’d find in any airport. Every airport looks the same...
DIED. MARGE SCHOTT, 75, controversial philanthropist and former owner of the Cincinnati Reds; in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a wealthy widow, Schott bought the baseball team in 1984, but she knew little about the sport; she once settled a contract dispute by flipping a coin.

Kreso Mikulic, the mustachioed owner, bellows out advice: "A knife! You have to cut it with a knife." Setting their first date here helped kindle romance two years ago for Ali Dehner and Jeffrey Pfirrmann. "It was a good icebreaker," says Dehner...
FERNANDO AGUIRRE Banana Booster After college, Aguirre, 46, passed up a tryout for the Cincinnati Reds to join the city's top business team, Procter & Gamble. Good choice. The Mexico native orchestrated one turnaround after another, like transforming P&G Brazil from a money loser into P&G's second most profitable Latin American subsidiary. In January, Aguirre became CEO of Chiquita Brands International, which left bankruptcy two years ago but is still struggling. Aguirre's plan: focus on marketing and value-added products, like the company's new fresh-cut-fruit business...
