...Massport plan is extremely controversial, but frequent flyers are rooting for it to succeed. The airlines are not amused. American Airlines' former CEO Robert Crandall told Freni whoever thought it up should have a lobotomy. Funny: Freni spent 20 years with American before joining Massport last year.

Just two weeks ago at Yale, Bush wore the no-sweat saunter of the frat guy who was so smart (or elite) that he could party and succeed. Bush grew up to become a Governor who drastically increased the penalties for teenage drinking in his state. Once upon a time, I was a little like the young W. But now I want my daughter to do what I say, not what I did. I suspect Bush feels the same...
