...firm would now do." Indeed, archrival Boeing has cut more than 50,000 jobs over the past eight years. The 555-seat, double-decker A380 is not just another airplane. It is one of those bet-the-company ventures, so beloved by the airline industry, which either succeed spectacularly - as the Boeing 747 did - or risk sending the whole firm into a tailspin. Mechanically at least, the A380 works: Airbus has been conducting successful test flights for over a year. Horstmann, the Munich bank analyst, reckons there's an 80% chance that Airbus will be able to work through this...

Nor would an ugly fight over who would succeed him be good for the party's prospects in November. Still, Republicans are not particularly eager to be seen with him.

Almost two-thirds (65%) of respondents disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war, while 54% believe he "deliberately misled" Americans in making his case for war - a figure that has increased by 6 points over the past year. President Bush's overall...
Meanwhile, under the TSA’s new half-hearted limitation, terrorists can be sure that they will probably succeed at sneaking liquids on-board anyway. Screeners conduct full bag searches on less than one out of four passengers, and they are unlikely to distinguish a three-ounce from a five-ounce bottle. Moreover, the time that they spend ferreting out that dastardly four-ounce container (a full ounce over the limit!) detracts from the time they can spend looking for real threats...
