Seaney of Farecompare.com expects most major carriers to jump on board with American's new plan. But "they'll probably let American stew for a couple days" to avoid the brunt of the consumer backlash, he says. United and Delta say they are considering similar charges; Continental declined to comment on American's plan. Southwest Airline - one carrier that is feeling relatively less of the pain, having locked in 70% of its 2008 oil supply at $51 a barrel - said it had "no plans" to institute a bag fee. But even Southwest expects to pay $800 million more in fuel...

Which is why in recent days, quiet calls have started going out to key supporters of Hillary Clinton who are showing signs of wanting to jump ship.

"Maybe I'm a little naive as we approach the footwear market," says Plank, a former University of Maryland football player who started the company in his grandmother's basement more than a decade ago. "Maybe we don't recognize the fact that we're walking on a tightrope on the 55th floor. But the fact of the matter is, it feels right. And that's what brands...
...noticed one odd side effect, however: though quieter than the Silvia, the X7 makes a small, pneumatic hiss during brewing that consistently sent Sticky into heavy-panting, tongue-lolling shock. One morning the noise made the dog jump into the shower with my daughter--and Sticky hates water. Illy says he has never heard of such a thing but notes that even perfection can be perfected. "There is never an end to possible improvements," he says. "It's an endless process." Perhaps. But I still love to fiddle, so I'm sticking with Miss Silvia. You can pry her from...
