...this calculation, the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least. This view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes, the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular - and populist - planes...

Buchanan, set to collect $12 million in federal funds as a reward for Perot's two consecutive over-5 percent showings in 1992 and 1996, will doubtless run an entertaining campaign, screaming to be let into the debates and slinging his witty brand of populist mud into the mainstream fray.

Richard Meier is the great American architect whose stately modernist buildings, most of them in a white so ideal it could be used for the table settings at Plato's Symposium, are the very opposite of Gehry's Baroque tumblings. Yet even Meier is happy about...
