...best thing JetBlue may have going for it is Neeleman. One of seven siblings, who has nine children of his own, Neeleman has been dreaming about airplanes since he saw a red one on his second birthday cake.

That's classic, full-service star quality, folks. The Best...

...chance to see who came and went that crucial week. By not pressing Condit to tell them everything he knew about Chandra, they may have lost the chance to follow leads while they were fresh. Condit's side kept trying to steer reporters to a theory of a serial killer (several young women have disappeared from around Dupont Circle).
