...steel doors on the front of the airport, but the back door is wide open," says Walsh. Cargo on freight planes is rarely inspected. Their cockpit doors, if they exist, aren't required to be reinforced, and security is lax. "There's easy access for a midnight takeover of a major cargo carrier, and a 747 has enough gas on it to make a big impression into the next World Trade Center," says Jay Norelius, security chairman for the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations...

But interest in cuisine from the land of the midnight sun is growing, and two new cookbooks are setting out to explain the variety and bounty of Scandinavian foods. Kitchen of Light (Artisan, $35) by Norwegian TV cooking-show host Andreas Viestad, already a surprise best seller, has been joined on bookshelves this month by Aquavit and the New Scandinavian Cuisine (Houghton Mifflin, $45) by James Beard-award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson...
