Instead, airlines taunt us with a byzantine yield-management pricing system that tries to factor in fuel prices, weather, congestion and everything else that complicates air travel. "It's not like any other business I know," says Grinstein. Selling an airline ticket is "more like trying to figure out a prisoner's dilemma than it is about trying to sell a can of paint."

...become battlegrounds as thousands of the rebel leader's supporters staged angry protests, threw rocks and torched houses. Dili, the capital, was relatively quiet as Time went to press, but unrest triggered by the failed raid could resume with redoubled violence if Reinado is caught. Meanwhile, he continues to taunt the government, and has threatened to derail the April 9 elections-the country's first Presidential poll since independence...
