That can't be measured exactly. Travel is, in some crucial way, a subjective emotional experience. The delighted Dr. Johnson's carriage jounced along down urban corridors of dust or mud. But the rig was, for its time, a Rolls-Royce. Travel is literally a state of mind. When trains got started in the early 19th century, people thought that moving 20 m.p.h. might cause insanity. On the other hand, it is not speed but an enraging motionlessness--the stalled freeway, or the runway where you sit for an hour or two awaiting takeoff--that causes derangement today...

"There is complete agreement on the diagnosis," says another Brussels diplomat. "It is the cure about which we differ." A more proactive and coherent E.U. foreign policy could make a crucial difference in finding a cure for Saddam that's not worse than the disease itself...
...security, as his father did. But like Dad, he misjudges the nation's economy at his peril. Bush has shown a willingness to inject politics into some economic decisions. He imposed tariffs on foreign steel and signed a subsidy-laden agricultural bill, tinkering with markets in order to placate crucial constituencies. But faced with corporate scandals and a market meltdown, our first M.B.A. President hadn't found an easy remedy.
