...pass isn't the perfect deal. You still have to pay taxes on international flights - $134 round-trip for New York to the Dominican Republic - and book all travel three days in advance. JetBlue does not offer as many exotic destinations as other airlines. Outside of the Caribbean, JetBlue's only other international stop is Bogotá, not exactly a tourist haven. Domestic options like Las Vegas, New Orleans and the Los Angeles area are attractive, but it's difficult to truly city-hop since JetBlue connections are a pain. Notice how often the aerophile Miller has to fly back...

In 1953 the agency orchestrated a coup against Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh that returned the pro-American Shah to power. Over the ensuing decade, it supported coups and assassinations in places such as Guatemala and the Dominican Republic to install leaders considered sympathetic to U.S. interests. Despite this legacy, many Americans were unaware of the CIA's clandestine operations until May 1960, when a U-2 spy plane was downed over the Soviet Union. The folks in Langley, Va., suffered another collective black eye from...
...mothers of these children wore special backpacks containing air-sampling equipment for 48 hours during their third trimester of pregnancy, capturing both indoor and outdoor air quality. Based on the results, they were divided into high-PAH-exposure and low-exposure groups. The mothers were healthy, nonsmoking black and Dominican-American women, ages 18 to 35, living in northern Manhattan and the South Bronx - not far from Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, where Perera is a professor.
