...spacing between rollouts of its 787 models also gives Boeing a slight advantage. Boeing plans to have about two to three years between its 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10, in order to have time to work out any bugs that might arise during test flights. But Airbus will have only one year between its 350-900, 350-800 and 350-1000 launches, meaning it has to be closer to flawless, a status it clearly hasn't reached with the A380...
...when they happen. So it's a kind of floor below which I don't go. When I was on Navane [another anti-psychotic medication] back in New Haven, and the first five or 10 years in L.A., I was teetering on the edge all of the time.

...proud and athletic Sarkozy probably wasn't thrilled at the way his slight lateral protrusions invaded the media examination of his first, remarkably successful 100 days in office. However, he'd probably be wise to consider it a relatively harmless harbinger of more troubling events likely to await him during his second 100 days. Up until now, Sarkozy has impressed the French and world public with his relentless pace in attacking challenges both at home and abroad. He has smoothly guided through several contested legal and economic reforms in France; he's meanwhile staged diplomatic coups by brokering an agreement...
