...weather has certainly improved here in the Northeast, but things are still a little bumpy at JetBlue, and the board believed it was time to get the company in the hands of a first-class operations guy, Dave Barger, the COO. Barger has proven ops chops, having helped turn Continental around. (Although he certainly has to take some blame for February, too.) In some ways, dumping Neeleman isn't a surprising move.

Stevens-Arroyo and some other scholars believe that the island's original colonial inheritance of Spanish Catholicism, combined with subsequent exposure to American Protestantism and its constitutionally mandated religious open market, created a a culture of religious seekers and corresponding "enthusiasms for overnight sensations." "This guy" says Stevens-Arroyo, "is one among Heinz's 57 varieties" on the island, some of whom inevitably reach the Latino community on the mainland. He describes one Miami predecessor from the 1930s known as "La Diosa," who claimed to be an incarnation of the Holy Spirit. Her followers founded spiritual...
