Boeing's unveiling of the new 787 Dreamliner, auspiciously timed for 7/8/07, drew a crowd of 15,000 employees and their guests to Boeing's Everett, Wash., facility in a manner fitting for what is the most successful, fuel-efficient commercial jetliner in history. To date, 47 carriers have ordered 677 of the planes.

The Washington Post wrote that the "whispers" about Reyes center on his "intellectual firepower." He is a former border-patrol agent with a low-key manner and a hearing problem that often leads people to think he doesn't understand them. Not only does he lack the starched-shirt intimidating attitude, but his education is definitely not Ivy League: a two-year degree from El Paso Community College.
