...looks fairly traditional on the outside, but it will be dramatically different on the inside. The twin-engine, twin-aisle plane will be the first commercial aircraft with large sections such as the fuselage made of composite materials like plastic and fiber glass, not aluminum. Composites, which are widely used in military planes, are lighter (a vital consideration in any commercial plane) and not vulnerable to dangerous corrosion or cracking.

Critics of the Bush Administration charge that the President and his top advisers waged a subtle campaign of insinuation in trying to make the case for war by frequently mentioning Sept. 11 and Saddam in the same breath--while carefully acknowledging, when pressed, that there was no specific link between the two. Critics had another reason to howl last week when Vice President...
