...banner. Analysts say that by distancing themselves from the extreme-right members of the former FPO, Haider and his new alliance might win back voters lost because of the party's divisions and harsh policies. A recent attempt to stir up anti-Turkish sentiment backfired when FPO posters vowing "Vienna must not become Istanbul!" were ridiculed. Political scientist Peter Filzmaier says the new party will aim for 10% in parliamentary elections next year: "If he can do that, he will be in the game again," says Filzmaier. If not, Haider may have to content himself with his small pond...
...Archbishop of Vienna is a theological heavyweight, speaks six languages and possesses unquestioned pastoral skills. He is, in other words, papabile, one of the dozen or so leading contenders to succeed John Paul. "He looks like a Pope," quipped a Vatican official who observed him in the basilica last week.

CHRISTOPH CARDINAL SCHONBORN, Archbishop of Vienna, is regarded in Rome as a brilliant conservative theologian and a smooth parish leader. He was well placed in life to become both: he studied theology under Cardinal Ratzinger, who will surely argue Schönborn's case before the conclave, and is the third Cardinal in his family's lineage...
...destinations in 55 countries. Last summer, Emirates began its first U.S. flights, to New York City's J.F.K. airport. The airline is already considering as many as nine U.S. destinations. "The U.S. is the final important piece," says Flanagan, whose airline also initiated flights to Lagos, Shanghai and Vienna last year. "Airlines are generally bad businesses. Emirates is different," says Damien Horth, an analyst at UBS in London. "It has been consistently profitable." Still dramatically expanding, it has more than $26 billion worth of new airplanes on order, including 45 of the massive, double-decker Airbus A380s...
