...some kind of poison gas. Maybe they will try to use boats or trains, rather than planes" in an assault. But within an hour the statement was withdrawn, replaced by a less frightening one. "If al-Qaeda could mount an attack upon key economic targets, or upon our transport infrastructure, they would," it now read. "If they could inflict damage upon the health of our population, they would." Other European intelligence agencies were less equivocal. In Berlin, Germany's normally reticent intelligence chief, August Hanning, made the case in a frank interview on prime-time television: "The fear is very...

The airline "has long-term, systemic advantages the other carriers can likely never match," says Vaughn Cordle, an airline pilot who heads...
...storage of furniture, which creates the biggest logistical headache for students. Even if the number of boxes per student needs to be reduced in order to accommodate the furniture, the College should not institute any change that would put additional strain on students that would come from having to transport unwieldy futons each year. By creating more attractive storage options rather than restricting those that currently exist, summer storage can become more safe, economical and efficient...
