...example, more than 50 flights to and from Guangzhou and Shanghai were delayed, keeping more than 6,000 passengers waiting as long as 10 hours for takeoff.

"It's so bad that you must fly a day ahead to get anywhere on time," says Jane Cheung, a Hong Kong accountant who flies regularly to Shanghai. "I avoid Chinese airlines at all costs...
Scent not only tells males which females are primed to conceive, but it also lets both sexes narrow their choices of potential partners. Among the constellation of genes that control the immune system are those known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which influence tissue rejection. Conceive a child with a person whose MHC is too similar to your own, and the risk increases that the womb will expel the fetus.

There, a large grave site was fenced off, and a Russian plaque announced that 1,864 Soviets - not Jews - were killed in 1942. So Desbois began knocking on doors along the one narrow road running through the village, in search of any witnesses to that day in 1942. "Were you living here during the war?" he asked as residents emerged from their homes, startled at the sight of an outsider. As darkness fell, Hanna Dvurinska, 79, invited us into her tiny wooden house. There...
