Princeton capitalized on the opportunity as Thirolf stepped behind the arc and nailed one of her three treys on the night to put Princeton ahead, 52-50. But Harvard had plenty of flight left...
Under the plan, the carriers will merge their route networks and frequent-flyer programs but keep separate corporate identities and management teams. Passengers stand to get a wider array of flight options from nearly every locale, from Latin America to Asia. The alliance, still subject to regulatory approval, is expected to add some $500 million in revenue three years after implementation by capturing passengers who would otherwise have changed to another airline while making a connection. "Airlines are looking for ways to maximize revenues with existing resources," says Michael Boyd, president of the Boyd Group, a consulting firm in Evergreen...

But they reject Italian claims that the plane was six miles off its assigned flight path. Flight recorder data has been handed over to Italian investigators but the U.S. is clearly conceding at least some responsibility for the tragedy...
...Internet what the Kennedy assassination was to TV news: its coming of age as a media force. Or some might say media farce.

A plane with 66 engine failures and 119 recommended "fixes" by its English manufacturer is a certain invitation to disaster. Even more asinine is the fact that the people in charge ignored the flight instructors' declarations of danger. Maybe the top brass should have been forced to fly in the questionable T-3. That would have educated or eliminated our faulty decision makers. DANA VICKERY Gardner, Mass...
