...crew included a co-pilot, a flight engineer and twelve cabin attendants. There were 509 passengers aboard the 747SR, a short-range version of the jumbo. JAL and All Nippon Airways are the only airlines that fly this model, which is structurally strengthened to absorb the jolts of the frequent takeoffs and landings required by shorter routes. As part of its fleet of 49 747s, the largest of any carrier in the world, JAL operated ten of the short-range types, which can accommodate more seats. The flight to Osaka (pop. 2,625,000), a commercial center 250 miles southwest...
...same gear. Duncan also allegedly submitted a bill for $8,400, to charter a private aircraft, that had already been almost entirely paid for. The indictment claims as well that Duncan charged the Army $796 for a four-flight airline ticket that he got free through a frequent-flyer program.

For example, L.A.'s traffic jams, just one result of over-population, become a frequent motif in The Human Dilemma. One scene has Concrete, stuck in a steamy gridlock, leaping to the rescue of someone caught in a dangerous road rage incident. But, in the first of several missed chances at heroism during the series, he can't save the victim...
...kind of loser hero, Marvel's ill-conceived Dazzler series, about a crime-fighting roller disco queen, Chadwick knows the basics of the mainstream look. Using the best of that style, such as its dramatic angles, to create dynamic pages, Chadwick also infuses the artwork with quirks, like the frequent use of X-ray shots into a character's body, so that no one could mistake it for mere hackwork. Another major difference between The Human Dilemma and more mainstream books is Chadwick's uses of black and white rather than color. This perfectly suits the material, which explores...
