...make a CEO pack it all in (which Jim Spanfeller at Forbes.com just did). In the first half of this year, Business Week ran about 37% fewer ad pages than it did in the first half of last year, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Fortune, published by Time Inc. (owner of TIME.com), sold 38% fewer pages, and Forbes was down 30% (a number possibly skewed by the inclusion of ForbesLife).

But that does nothing to quell the concerns of people who still don't know the whereabouts of their relatives' remains. "There's a strong element of trust you have with cemetery owners," Dart says. "But this case is beyond belief. I've never had anything like...
...indicated that had occurred - and compelled the flight-control computer to shift more responsibility to the pilots. Turbulence would have further whittled away at their safe-speed range. "They might have slowed down inadvertently and flown into a stall," says Hans Weber, an aviation-safety expert at Tecop International Inc. in San Diego.
