...first line of action, passengers need to be more realistic-and savvier-consumers when it comes to airline travel. Flyers should not expect premium service on a super-saver, $89 fare. What's more, travelers ought to punish poorly performing carriers by diverting their business to other airlines (such as Southwest, Midwest Express and JFK-based Jetblue), which consistently win awards for superior service. And at the most basic level, I can only say that if flying is such an awful experience, then don't fly. The U.S. has plenty of forms of alternate transportation to get you where...

The fuss he started is just the kind of highly visible wrangling they need to prove that reparations is an issue worth fighting about, not a pipe dream. If an archconservative like Horowitz is so down on the idea, it must have merit...
...opposition. Sources told TIME that Democratic leader Richard Gephardt complained about the increased hard-money limits directly to Daschle. He was especially angered by plans to tie the limits to the inflation rate.
