François Clavadetscher, a newly retired Swiss captain who came from the Swissair side, says the conflict has been fueled by jealousy. "We are better trained, have higher qualifications and undergo stricter selection criteria," he says. "It is normal that our salaries are higher. No airline will pay the same to long-haul pilots and those flying commuter planes." If the union persists in its demands, Swiss spokesman Markus Baumgartner warns, the company would have to restructure its route network in order to save money for the payout, a move that could cripple the fledgling airline.

...only problem is that it didn't do any good. How do we know? Doctors ran it through a rarely used but devastatingly effective test: sham surgery. They randomly assigned some patients to undergo the surgery while other patients were wheeled into the operating room, sedated, given superficial incisions (accompanied by the commands and operating-room noises they would hear if the real surgery were taking place), patched up and sent home...
...Saad was also in Faisalabad, though he evaded capture. As for the elder bin Laden, even if he is still alive, evidence of his failing health is mounting.

...Mueller, like his predecessors, is walking a narrow line. "The reason the folks at FBI headquarters are paralyzed is they have to undergo a Senate inquisition every time they act," says a former Clinton Justice Department official. "If they investigate Wen Ho Lee, it's profiling. If they don't investigate, they're attacked for letting the China stuff go by. They can't win. They are paralyzed because the Senators who are jumping up and down today about the FBI being paralyzed will be jumping up and down tomorrow when they...
