...Undergraduate Council. Going door to door, Bowman easily convinces a room of freshman men to take a break from Xbox or Facebook to listen to his ideas on a real J-Term for 2011 and beyond, or the importance of simplifying room reservations. It’s even easier to convince a group of freshman girls...
...simple. BA and Iberia - combined annual revenues: $22 billion - are chasing their rivals' tails. Germany's Lufthansa, Europe's second-largest airline, has picked up smaller carriers from Austria to Switzerland in recent months. Thanks to the 2004 merger of the French and Dutch airlines, Air France-KLM is even further out in front. Troubled Iberia and BA, which both announced ugly losses over the past week, reckon eliminating duplicate services from fleet maintenance to business class lounges will save the airlines $600 million a year. That'll mean "a strong European airline will able to compete in the 21st...

"At this moment of renewal," he said, "in this land of miracles, history tells us it is possible." The audience of dignitaries and diplomats offered their applause...
History offers a warning to the unwieldy, too. Even if they trim their operating budgets, BA/Iberia will still be carrying serious weight - the combined firm should fly some 60 million passengers each year. But that calls for slick organization, something BA hasn't always enjoyed. (Remember the opening of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5?) "When United [Airlines] went into Chapter 11, they were the largest airline in the world," says Pilarski. "Airlines that went under didn't go under because they were so puny they just needed to be bigger. If BA at their size is not efficient, something...
