Fans of what are known officially as very light jets - sometimes called microjets or "minivans with wings" - predict that this new class of aircraft will democratize private air travel on the Continent much as low-cost carriers opened up commercial aviation to the masses. Microjets start at $1.5 million, a fraction of the $8 million price tag of the cheapest business jets currently on the market. Thanks to their more efficient fuel use, very light jets will also cost some 50% less to fly, allowing air-taxi and corporate shuttle services to sell a seat on one for about...

But on the battlefield, the Iraqis are frequently found wanting and often have to be rescued by U.S. troops. A damning April 25 report by the Department of Defense's special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction says...
...really too much to ask athletes to make an effort to become informed, or to form an opinion on the controversies that will inevitably envelope the Beijing Games? "It seems like such an obvious answer to me," says Miranda. "Being part of the conversation doesn't cost a whole lot." Olympic athletes do have some spare time for a little reading, you know. "All young individuals should be aware of the situation, the circumstances in which they are becoming involved in," says John Carlos, the 1968 Olympic bronze-medalist whose Black Power salute on the podium set the standard...
