...debate over subsidies is especially heated because the aircraft business is so precarious. Launch costs for a new plane are enormous, with little guarantee that the market will reward innovation. In December 2003 Boeing announced plans for the twin- engine, highly efficient 787 (originally called the 7E7), its first new airplane in a decade and its designated aircraft of the future. In contrast to the A380, which is designed to fly lots of people to big hub airports, the smaller (about 220 passengers) 787 aims to fly longer distances to more cities. Scheduled to roll...

Anxious hours passed before we learned they were safe. Tears not only of relief but also of sorrow were shed for the many parents who have little to rejoice about. The spontaneous generosity of those who are giving aid to tsunami victims has once again highlighted our common humanity. It contrasts sharply with the smallness...
