...enthusiastic collaborator, working with Theater Artist Robert Wilson in Einstein on the Beach, fellow Composer Robert Moran in The Juniper Tree and Choreographer Twyla Tharp in In the Upper Room. But 1000 Airplanes may be his most daring ensemble effort yet, involving Chinese- American Playwright David Henry Hwang and Scenic Designer Jerome Sirlin. The trio has produced a science-fiction music drama that is part Freud, part Kafka and part Steven Spielberg...
...Airbus A320 had been delivered to Air France only two days earlier, and the airline was proud to welcome 130 passengers aboard its new plane last week for a scenic demonstration flight. During the 45-minute ride, the sophisticated craft was supposed to buzz the tarmac at a French air show and swoop past 15,771-ft. Mont Blanc. The twin-jet aircraft, renowned as the world's most electronically advanced commercial airliner and celebrated as a symbol of Europe's technological prowess, was packed with local dignitaries, sightseers and journalists. Also aboard: a handful of aviation buffs who paid...

The rub, of course, is that the residents of Little Iowa are inconveniently sprinkled across...
Cruising's routes have changed drastically from a few decades ago. Only one ship, the QE2, still makes the regular transatlantic run from New York City to Southampton, England. Instead of connecting distant cities, many ships now embark from home ports nearer to the scenic waters in which they will cruise. Today the world's most crowded port for cruise liners is Miami, where 24 major ships glide in and out of the harbor as they pick up passengers for excursions in the busy Caribbean and points beyond. Other booming ports are Los Angeles, where ships embark for the Mexican...
