...airline seats chasing too few "good" customers (those paying profitable fares). The government helped skew the industry by propping up failing carriers with taxpayer bail-outs after Sept. 11--including US Airways, in 2003. The result is a still flabby industry dominated by legacy airlines that can't make decent money. Flights today are usually 80% full, but average profits on tickets--what the airlines call yield--are down 24% since 2000, according to AirlineForecasts, an aviation consulting firm. Major airlines have lost or written off $50 billion in the past five years, and two of them, Delta and Northwest...
...Give it time. The price will (probably) come down. Sony's online strategy will (probably) mature. More decent games will come out - the Playstation3 is notoriously difficult to develop for, and game-makers are still figuring out how to get the most out of it.

Unfortunately Game spends the whole song talking about, and often talking to, Dr. Dre, whose absence shows in the track‘s noisy, decidedly un-bumpin?...
...other hand, Royal's basic point is in line with Socialist principles: If paid tutors are what it takes to get through middle school with decent grades, then those whose parents can afford them will fare better, perpetuating the inequities that have kept the underserved urban ghettoes on the boil for years. And the idea of public teachers dipping into the private sector for a little extra cash is bound to strike more than a few French people as downright Anglo-Saxon - or so her supporters hope...
