...team-naming today. The introduction of Jacksonville Jews and Marquette Mexicans expansion franchises in any sport wouldn't be well-received-even if they were meant to be complimentary. Such "tributes" are ambiguous, and prompt responses even by well-meaning fans that send mixed messages to the groups they depict...

More importantly, I would argue that significant differences still exist between the vast majority of titles in this art form and the few that I strive to cover in this column.

Also, by some estimates, as many as one in five passengers has a fear of flying. And a few experts say that airlines, whose advertisements depict air travel as a relaxed, soothing realm of smiling passengers and subservient flight attendants, may themselves be partially to blame for raising travelers' expectations. It's a claim airlines flatly dismiss. "Ludicrous," says Ben Hall, a spokesman for Virgin Atlantic Airways. "We have to look at how many cases of air rage...
