...like a jetliner climbing out of a tailspin. After tumbling some 12% since 1981, the cost of flying has risen by about 10% in the past three years and by around 6% so far this year, even though passenger traffic has been flat. The price hikes have stirred the suspicion of the Justice Department, which launched an antitrust investigation into possible collusion among the nation's major airlines. The Justice probe is seeking to determine whether the fare hikes were economically justified or the airlines acted in concert to raise prices...

Since the mid-1960s, university campuses have become battlegrounds of rival literary doctrines, all of them united only in a suspicion of the traditionally "obvious" or "natural" explanations of literature. + Impatience with such abstruse and often dogmatic theories has led to an outcry among educational traditionalists for a return to established and proven literary curriculums. Thus it is no surprise that the first wave of letters in reaction to the Harper's article, according to editor Lewis Lapham, has been strongly supportive of Wolfe's call for a return to fictional realism...
