...sure, passengers may be emotionally aroused well before they enter the cabin - from delays, boredom, jetlag or saying farewell to loved ones. 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...
Some of the photographs depict breathtaking landscapes rendered with great artistic flare and attention to aesthetics. One landscape of a pyramid taken by Francis Frith depicts the subtle beauty of the pyramids of Saqqara. His use of light and shadow rivals many Ansel Adams landscapes. The printmaking is of such high quality that the footsteps and the tracks of the cart Firth was pulling his camera equipment in can be seen snaking through the photograph. In spite of these few photographs made with great artistry, most of the images in display seem to be staged, trite, commercialized depictions...

In constructing representations of the Middle East for European audiences, photographers played off of several themes in producing their photographs...
When seers forecast the future literally instead of metaphysically, they usually miss by light-years. The Buck Rogers comic strip of the 1950s attempted to depict life in the 25th century. But even before the end of the 20th century, Buck's spaceship looked more like a 1956 Cadillac than any realistic vision of a technological tomorrow that is already with us. Nor can the exactitude of modern science save us from silliness in attempting to know what will happen next year, or next week, or even this afternoon. Economics is called the dismal science as much for being dismally...
...video, to be titled "The Staxxx," breaks new ground in purporting to depict the sexual activities of college students. It is being produced by members of "Porn n' Chicken," a student group devoted to the noble social goals of eating fried chicken and masturbating. Yet if their motive was to "give something back to the porn community," as one friend of a filmmaker told the Yale Daily News, the members of Porn n' Chicken have chosen a rather unfortunate gift. Few have sufficient scientific curiosity (or stomach) to appreciate the performances of copulating Yalies, a part of the human experience...
