...cutting edge of innovative cookery, it does have several elegant and creditable outposts of haute Continental cuisine. At the top of the list is 103 West. It is discouraging at first glance, gussied up with enough faux-everything kitsch to make one wish for a machete to clear a path to a table. However, once one is seated, delights appear, marred only occasionally by a lax waiter or an overdone duck. There are sublimely puffy lump-crabmeat cakes and tender veal chops with morels. Not to be missed: profiteroles filled with foie gras. The kitchen also serves an original version...

Yet apparently nobody warned the civilian traffic controllers that Flight 655's path would take it directly over a developing firefight; had the controllers known that, they say, they would have delayed the takeoff. Why the foul-up? The military and civilian controllers at Bandar Abbas, it seems, did not talk to each other...
