...their biggest project, the €12 billion superjumbo A380[an error occurred while processing this directive] plane, by blaming the wiring. Each A380 has about 500 km of electrical cables that need to be configured individually for different customers (so the explanation went), and that was proving far more complex than anticipated. Last week, the story changed. Airbus postponed the A380's launch once again, but acknowledged that the company's problems are far greater than mere technical snafus. The two-year delay to the A380 will reduce profits by an estimated €4.8 billion over the next three years...
...Korea has to an ally, warning Pyongyang that a test would bring "serious consequences." Ban is so intent on resolving the North Korean dispute that he says he might visit Pyongyang himself as Secretary-General--something Annan never did.

Although there are many qualified candidates who don’t hold Harvard degrees, alums are better suited to lead the University, particularly given the complex situation Harvard finds itself in today. To that end, the Presidential Search Committee should make an effort to continue the tradition of selecting a Harvard man or woman—likely an alum, but possibly a professor—to lead the University...
...with a sense of trepidation. Finally, the next president will have to make critical decisions about the University’s future in Allston right off the bat. If he or she doesn’t fully understand Harvard’s place in Allston—where complex competing interests, tricky town-gown relations, and years of planning make the learning curve particularly steep—Harvard’s expansion across the river could be set back by several years...
