Along with others around the world, I was saddened by the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990 [WORLD, Nov. 29]. My heart went out to the families of the passengers and crew. I felt the greatest sorrow, however, for the family of relief pilot Gamil el-Batouti. Besides having to deal with the loss of a husband and father, the family had to cope with the anguish of a name destroyed by unproved accusations of mass murder and suicide.

The day after the massacre, he went to address students and parents at a local church. He felt uncertain, but when his name was announced, the place erupted in a spontaneous ovation. As he had in the past, DeAngelis told the students he loved them...
That should have set off warning bells in Atlanta. But Ivester, known for his bulldog tenacity, pushed ahead with expansion plans. Coke had built its omnipresence in the 1980s by welding together a motley collection of soft-drink bottlers into the most powerful distribution channel on earth. Ivester felt compelled to fill that global network despite the spreading financial contagion. Instead of paring growth targets, he embarked on a flurry of acquisitions to put more products into the pipeline...
