...crimes against humanity during the "ethnic cleansing" of Croatia between August 1991 and June 1992. ITALY Milan Runway Crash In thick fog at Milan?s Linate Airport, a Cessna light aircraft strayed into the path of an accelerating Scandinavian Airlines System passenger jet, which crashed into a baggage hangar and burst into flames. The conflagration, which claimed 118 lives, was Italy?s worst civil aviation accident. According to recordings of conversations with the Milan control tower, the Cessna pilot thought he was on a different taxiing runway.

...Stephen Wolf was telling everyone from Congress to government regulators to Wall Street analysts that if its merger with United Airlines did not go through, US Airways could not survive on its own and would eventually wither and die. The merger, of course, never even got out of the hangar, and so this week the top brains at US Airways have finally let the rest of the world in on their "Plan B" - by which US Airlines would not only survive on its own, but thrive...
Boeing hopes to continue that trend by instituting a new assembly line for its single-aisle jets.

...will end up being the same sort weasel the previous critic was (I should mention that the previous music critic for TIME is a pretty cool guy). But inevitably there are moments where you feel the weasel metamorphosis happening. So I'm ushered into this sterile aircraft hangar-like space where the artists are sequestered, like jurors on lengthy murder trials, before their appointed times on stage. The place reminds me of the building where they store the alien ship in "Independence Day" - it's like a Latin Area 54, cut off from the world and public view. Most...
