...smells, sounds -- perhaps even the sensation of warm summer breezes against the skin -- all help make an indelible impression. In the course of their studies, the pupils will experience many other important historical events that have been carefully re-enacted and digitally filmed.

...global consolidation of the airline industry is moving into a cross-border phase, led by the desire of American carriers to secure overseas markets and foreign airlines to buy stakes in some of the weaker U.S. operators.

...Liberia to co-report our cover story. With Monrovia's main airport still under rebel control following the bloody civil war that ousted President Samuel Doe, Dowell flew in on a tiny Cessna that landed on a , makeshift airstrip. Nearby lay the charred remains of a Russian-built transport plane that had failed to make such a landing a few days earlier. Dowell also visited Francophone Ivory Coast, Senegal and Mali. Michaels, meanwhile, fanned out as far afield as Zambia, Zaire, Burkina Fasso, Nigeria, Benin and Togo...
