Basics. Eight airlines serve Bermuda International Airport (BDA) in Hamilton, so it pays to compare. Round-trip summer fares from the East Coast have dropped considerably, down to about $300; bargain hunters can do even better with patience. JetBlue had a recent $198 round-trip fare from New York City...
...Olympic Committee (USOC) announced on July 8 that it had signed an agreement with Comcast to form the U.S. Olympic Network, which will provide year-round coverage of Olympic sports. According to the USOC, the network will launch sometime after the 2010 Vancouver Games. One problem: the U.S. Olympic Network could compete with NBC, which is paying $2.2 billion to broadcast the 2010 and 2012 Olympics.

Anyone who ever saw Alexis Arguello slug out a 13-round victory in the boxing ring knows he had the heart of a giant - too big, it seemed, to fit inside his skinny, 130-pound frame, which could pack a punch like a mule kick.

But the news that les français had kept their crown as the world's most troublesome tourists provoked a collective Gallic shriek. "The French Are the Worst Tourists on Earth," blared the website for Libération above a story on this year's survey. "Do French Tourists Abroad Do Their Country Honor?" radio-news station France Info asked...
Incumbent Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono cruised to a commanding victory in the nation's presidential elections yesterday. His single-round slam dunk over his opponents paves the way for Indonesia to take a greater role on the world stage, though analysts also warn the retired general not to let up on several important fights at home. Corruption fighters in Indonesia have repeatedly voiced concern that the Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, arguably the most feared agency in the country, was being weakened by forces in and outside the government. "We want to see the President stand up for the KPK," states...
