...plays itself out in subtle if violent variety; however, generals who get dogmatic about it will win on paper and lose on the battlefield. Keegan's case studies are too discriminating to be doctrinaire. He begins with Nelson's long, blundering search for Napoleon's invasion fleet in 1798. Nelson, short on reconnoitering frigates, his knowledge running only as far as the horizon, could not even be sure where Napoleon's aggression was headed. Nelson followed Napoleon's fleet through a cloud of unknowing and finally crushed the French in Aboukir...
...Conservative Party, a lurid child murder and, last week, the strange tale of Prince Charles' denial--without disclosing the original allegation because a court injunction prohibits that--of a racy claim about him by a former aide with a history of alcoholism. Never mind: next week all of Fleet Street will be awash with coverage of the person a U.S. diplomat ruefully dubbed "the toxic Texan," whose handling of international affairs is panned by two-thirds of Brits.

...graphic. It's about indulging in yourself, taking off your clothes and feeling kind of good. But there's nothing about it I would personally find distasteful."

...this makes the U.S. market key for VW. But, as Ford, G.M. and Chrysler learned the hard way, you can't build luxury car sales if your basic fleet is perceived to be poor quality. To pump up VW's reliability ratings, Pischetsrieder recently dispatched Stefan Ketter - a widely recognized expert in quality control - to the U.S. After service technicians found a potentially faulty wiring harness in the Touareg, VW sent technicians to the homes of Touareg owners to reassure them of the vehicle's quality. The company now has a dozen engineers in the U.S. solely to monitor...
...into service for the first time anywhere on Dec. 1, when Emirates airlines takes it on a maiden voyage from Dubai to Sydney. Flying time will be 14 hours, but these tireless behemoths can handle journeys of 17 hours or more, and Emirates has additional plans to deploy its fleet of eight A340s on journeys to North America and New Zealand. Other airlines are planning to deploy the planes - Singapore Airlines in February 2004 and Thai Airways in 2005. Staying power is not all that the new aircraft have to recommend them. An array of design and service innovations accompany...
