Frustrated. BEA, which will be 20 years old next month, saturates Britain and Europe with its routes, and reaches as far east as Helsinki, Moscow and Cairo. It has made a profit every year but two in the past ten.

It is known to set off an infinite variety of allergic or "serum sickness" reactions, and causes up to 300 U.S. deaths a year. Even the mildest of drug-induced difficulties, he added, should not be minimized, for the side effects are not limited to one generation. If a woman has certain radiopaque dyes injected for gall...
