Both Bombardier and Embraer are gambling big money on ever larger regional jets. New 90-plus-seat models, the Bombardier CRJ900 (rolled out in January) and the Embraer ERJ190 (expected next year), cost each firm nearly $1 billion to develop but might face competition from Boeing's and Airbus' smallest models. Bombardier and Embraer are also beefing up international operations, especially in jet-hungry China. Embraer last year launched a $25 million joint venture to build 50-seaters in China for that market. Bombardier is in negotiations with other Chinese partners to build 70- and 90-seat jets...

...recent events ought to motivate administrators at Yale to develop more acceptable means for debate on their campus. Unfortunately, Yale President Richard Levin, along with Yale College Dean Richard Brodhead, have not taken this view. Their assessment—that the attacks were isolated and anomalous incidents—refuses to acknowledge an obvious trend, and flies in the face of what some students say they feel is a climate of growing intolerance...
...UNMOVIC play in the lifting of sanctions will inevitably emerge from a deal between the U.S.-led coalition and Russia and France. There's more than a whiff in their standoff of the politics of oil. France and Russia signed multibillion dollar contracts with Saddam's regime to develop Iraqi oil fields after sanctions, and they want those contracts respected. But even as Washington is concerned to allay Arab - and, particularly, widely-held Iraqi - suspicions that the U.S. seeks to control Iraq's oil wealth, it will also counter the Russians and French by arguing that their contracts were concluded...
