...promises that existing capacity will allow Air France to proceed with planned expansion. But even he admits that the situation could get worse: "If the findings were to show a fundamental design or construction failure, then we'd have to tear it down and start again." Some experts predict that worst-case scenario won't come about - and also note ADP's good luck: the disaster struck shortly before 7 a.m., limiting a death toll that otherwise might have been in the hundreds. Others suggested the crash might prevent the airport from servicing the new superjumbo Airbus A380 when deliveries...
...hate to answer these questions because whenever I try to predict the future I’m always wrong. But I definitely see myself as a cop for the next few years. It’s in my blood...
Actually, it's the biggest U.S. project of Rem Koolhaas, the influential Dutch architect-thinker and hipster-polemicist. "For me it's a building that accommodates both stability and instability," he says. "The things you can predict and the things you can't."

"The only way Blair wins...
...SOSKIN: I’ve read so much Ebert that I could predict his star ratings in my sleep. Any film with one of the following elements—good characters, an intriguing plot, or a noble message—gets at least two and a half stars, regardless of its other deficiencies; any film with two of the elements gets at least three and a half stars, even if it’s short on the third element (usually plot). Hence, poor Roger spends his days showering praise on dragging, decently acted message movies like Monster and The Insider...
