...jets were conceived, they are not required to carry the same collision-avoidance systems as larger jets. Alex Hendriks, Eurocontrol's deputy director of air-traffic management, compares the introduction of microjets to European airspace under these circumstances to dumping hundreds of mopeds into the fast lane of a motorway without sophisticated safety equipment. Microjet operators say they will hire experienced pilots, and insist that the planes' collision-avoidance software is sufficient...
...more affordable 10%. Productivity is up, and the rate of wage hikes is down. But none of these signs of improving health are proof that the rebound will persist or that Thatcherism is a success.

...Indeed, he seems to address a different - a disused - part of the reader's brain." Kingdom Come addresses the shopping lobe. Richard Pearson, a newly jobless advertising executive, visits the Brooklands Metro-Centre, an enclosed shopping mall of gigantic proportions - 20 supermarkets, 30 pharmacies, two hotels - along the M25 motorway near London's Heathrow airport. Two weeks earlier his father, a retired airline pilot, was killed there along with other shoppers when a deranged gunman opened fire. But Pearson soon finds out that the shooting wasn't so random, and that the mall provides far more than loyalty cards...
