...from one of the new cases to a WHO-affiliated lab at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta - a move some experts say was done to send the signal that nothing was being hidden on Bali - the larger dispute has yet to be settled. "I think there's progress on this, but we'd suggest a greater urgency," says John Rainford, a WHO spokesperson in Geneva...
...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. Adjusting to the scale of the challenge of running Europe's third-largest airline after four years as boss of Irish carrier Aer Lingus "was easy," says Walsh. "I just multiplied everything by 10."
