...Outside Gate 42 at Dulles airport last week, my emotions yo-yoed from giddy excitement to that other, dread traveler's feeling, deja vu. Though the sign under Legend Airline's Flight 3 said ON TIME, the gate agents kept announcing delay after delay because of bad weather. Here we go again, I thought; just another airline...
...competition. Arriving for my return flight on American Airlines, I realized I didn't know which of the four terminals or 122 gates at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport I was supposed to use. I listened to the Dallas radio station devoted to American departures, but my flight wasn't mentioned. On a hunch, I picked one terminal and got out of the cab. Bad move.

He announced that the benefits of debt relief won't be felt until late...
...drove to the suburb where the children's beauty-pageant queen was buried. On the eve of what would have been her seventh birthday, Aug. 6, 1997, the investigators broke into St. James Episcopal Cemetery with the help of a Georgia state cop who picked the lock on the gate. The Boulder detectives then planted a hidden microphone and camera a few feet from JonBenet's resting place. For three days, they mounted round-the-clock surveillance from the window of a nearby high school, hoping to overhear a graveside confession from one of the many mourners who trooped...
