...lies ahead for the beleaguered carriers as well as the disgruntled traveling public. Fares will drop on some routes and rise on others. More direct flights could open up, even as layovers grow longer at airline hubs. Satellite airports (Baltimore; Long Beach, Calif.) near metropolitan areas could see more traffic while service is reduced to smaller cities like Syracuse, N.Y., and Greensboro, N.C. And forget those promises of more legroom in coach. Those days are over...
...series of setbacks - the Great Depression, German occupation, local corruption scandals - took their toll, even as sunbathing became fashionable and ordinary folk began flocking to the Côte d'Azur in the summer. Now, asserts the generally optimistic Kanigel, Nice has all the woes of mass tourism - traffic jams, polluted beaches, collapsing sewage systems and a mur de beton, or concrete wall, of hotels and apartment blocks that have compromised the Riviera's beauty forever.

Some of these biological traffic lights work in a very short time frame, affecting when you start and stop a meal. Some, like leptin, work over the longer term by helping the brain monitor how much fatty tissue the body has stored. PYY is a medium-term signal; it seems to suppress your appetite between...

But the arithmetic on costs and energy efficiency argues, in the long term, in favor of boldly creative, high-speed regional rail systems that would take the environmental and traffic pressures off highways and airports...
...study that also raises what might be called the collateral damage of so many accidents. The transport Commissioner, Spain's Loyola de Palacio, reckons this causes losses of some j45 billion, primarily in health and labor costs. Aside from the direct price of so much killing and maiming, traffic congestion adds many millions more euros in wasted fuel consumption, with its accompanying pollution. Earlier this year, in the Italian industrial region of Lombardy, air-particle counts five times the alert level were being recorded. That meant Italians in many cities, including Milan, were restricted to driving on alternate days, based...
