...guided the development of Boeing's last plane, the stakes couldn't be higher. In the early 1990s, Phil Condit was the program manager for the 777 and Alan Mulally was the chief engineer. Now Condit runs the entire company and Mulally is head of commercial airplanes. Over the past three years, Boeing has lurched from one new design to another--only to back off ideas abruptly. One proposal, the sleek and futuristic Sonic Cruiser that Boeing promised would fly faster than other any plane except the Concorde, captured the imagination of the aviation world--but not of the airlines...
Like a nation of Dr. Phils, we couldn't get enough of stating the obvious. People wrote news stories that seriously examined Gary Condit's re-election bid and fat people suing fast-food restaurants, leaving very little for the Onion to do. When Letterman almost bumped Nightline off ABC, long editorials were written saying that Ted Koppel's show is indeed smart--many by Ted Koppel himself. After extensive video review, we determined that people should not dangle their babies over the railing of the third-floor balconies or shave off their entire nose. We pretended to get newly...
...Overall, business travel has fallen more than 20% since 2000, according to the Business Travel Coalition.

The media, incited by the discovery of her affair with Congressman Gary Condit, churned out endless stories. But then the nation's attention turned elsewhere. Last week a man hunting turtles in the city's Rock Creek Park found the remains of Chandra Levy, reviving fascination--and raising new questions...
Police have not identified any suspects, and though there may have been physical evidence such as blood or semen, chances are it has been degraded by exposure to the elements. In the past, police interviewed Condit but never named him as a suspect. They may question him again. They will also question Ingmar Guandique, currently serving 10 years for attacking two female joggers in the park in the weeks surrounding Levy's disappearance. Although he was interviewed before, he has not been named a suspect. --By Michele Orecklin. Reported by Melissa August/Washington and Laura Locke/Modesto, Calif...
