He is clearly excited, however, to be moving from a country "where politically the arts are not even on the radar" to one where "the arts are a profound part of the body politic."

Whatever the inquiry finds, notes Daniel Solon at the aviation consultancy Avmark, "this highlights the urgency for some integrated European system of control." Planes flying through Europe negotiate among more than 60 centers that divvy up airspace along national lines (vs. just 21 centers...
