But because of the big money involved and the critical role that aircraft play in national security, the spat threatens already tense U.S.-E.U. relations, and could hurt the huge aerospace industries - and their hundreds of thousands of employees - on either side of the Atlantic.

FOR more than 40 years she made it seem both morally essential and utterly sexy to know everything--to have read every book worth reading, seen every movie worth seeing. It didn't hurt that she also possessed a dark, slightly exotic beauty, the kind that could make her seem like the star of her own foreign film.
