...confuse this with a crisis. Really. These ignominies, significant though they may be, risk overshadowing the real progress that the 45-year-old Dubliner has made at BA since taking over in 2005 as its youngest ever boss. The scale of the challenge of running BA, Europe's third largest airline, after his four years as boss of the Irish carrier Aer Lingus "was easy," says Walsh. "I just multiplied everything by 10." That applied to problems too. When he arrived, the company's pension fund was short by almost $3 billion, more than the shortfall at any other major...
...reelection - but only just - in a heated election that gave him a shrunken parliamentary majority that may imperil implementation of key economic and social reforms. With all of Sunday's votes counted, final returns late Monday showed Karamanlis, who swept to power in 2004 as Greece's youngest prime minister, won about 42% of the poll against 38.9% by the rival Panhellenic Socialist Movement, or PASOK.

The youngest Prime Minister in postwar Japanese history, Abe came to power last September as the architect of a self-proclaimed "assertive diplomacy" in which a re-energized nation would claim its rightful place on the global stage. The 52-year-old vowed to repair relations with Asian neighbors still wounded by Japan's wartime aggression and aimed to transform the nation's military from a limited self...
...gifted education" [Aug. 27]: I am a student of the Early Entrance Program (EEP) at California State University, Los Angeles, which takes grade skipping to its extreme by allowing young students early entrance to college. Students here begin taking full-time college classes at age 14, though our youngest student was 9. Every student is radically accelerated, usually skipping all of high school. The program provides academic support as well as a social framework that connects us with like-minded students. While other early-college-entrance programs exist, none have the social support of EEP, leaving gifted students isolated from...
