...megacarriers are making life miserable for discount airlines. Five, including Pan Am, Sun Jet and Air South, have recently failed. The stragglers, which include Frontier Airlines and Reno Air, have lost a combined $200 million. The big airlines, by contrast, logged record earnings last year of more than $5 billion, a rise of 28%, their fourth consecutive annual increase. No wonder. In the past year, business-class fares have increased 16%, and average air fares have risen 9%. Meanwhile, the price of jet fuel, the airlines' biggest cost item, keeps dropping...

But that means he would be investigating both his chief witness, Hale, and his own likely future benefactor, Scaife, who is partially funding two Pepperdine University deanships that Starr is supposed to settle into after Whitewater. If Justice handles the investigation, Reno could appear to be trying to undercut Starr's probe of her boss, the President. She may opt instead to ask a federal judge to direct a probe into the crucial question: If Hale...
