...life's recurring unpleasant moments that Rajiv Mehta, owner of an interior-design company in New Delhi, has come to dread. During Mehta's frequent business trips in India, his flight often approaches its destination only to have the pilot announce that the plane will have to circle the airport for a while-not because there's bad weather or a mechanical glitch, but because of congestion on the ground. Mehta's plight is shared by thousands of his countrymen. Thanks to India's economic prosperity and the booming growth of its airline industry, more Indians are flying today than...

The reputation and budget of the CEB seems disproportionately dependent on the success...
...remained implacable--evidenced most dramatically on Monday in Diyala province, north of Baghdad, when a suicide bomber killed nine U.S. soldiers, one of the deadliest attacks against the military since the war began. Since the start of the U.S. surge, those kinds of insurgent strikes have become more frequent in areas outside the capital. But anxiety is rising in the Green Zone too. Some U.S. soldiers have orders not to travel through the area alone for fear of kidnapping. On March 27, a rocket landed in the complex of housing trailers near the U.S. embassy, killing a U.S. soldier. Security...
