Experiencing the future as Branson imagines it will cost you less than $300, the price of a bare-bones economy ticket between Los Angeles and New York City on one of Virgin America's 149-seat A320s. The planes are new, and the leather seats are comfortable enough for sleeping, even in coach. There are power outlets at every seat. The most profound change, though, doesn't look like much of an improvement at first. Like many U.S. carriers, Virgin America charges for food in economy class. But flight attendants don't dole it out from a cart like gruel...
...unique. "I've always thought of the network as being a lot like an investment portfolio," says American's Joyner.

An RBI single up the middle from captain Matt Vance got the Crimson on the board in the first, and after Harvard loaded the bases in the next frame, back-to-back Husky errors...
...handily beat third-place Penn, with the Crimson’s second varsity crossing the line 32.2 seconds before the Quakers’ junior varsity.“It’s an interesting challenge [to start the season against Cornell],” said captain and varsity four-seat Pat Mulcahy. “It’s always a difficult way to start the season, because you know they’re going to be fast. But it’s a nice test of speed. It’s a tough way to start, but we came...
