...been justly praised, in TIME and elsewhere, for brilliantly formulating JetBlue's strategy and getting it off the ground. You'd be surprised how easy it is to start an airline in the U.S. (Unless your name is Virgin America and the industry freaks about the prospect of a Richard Branson-linked competitor entering the domestic industry.) There are plenty of planes to lease, and loads of pilots to fly them. And that's exactly why hundreds of airline start ups have sprung to life and augered in since the industry was deregulated...
They're like twin antediluvian monstrosities: too ugly, too wonky, too scaly and strange to flourish in today's cold political climate when the blinding comet of television has wiped out their kind, leaving only furry grinning mammals behind. Richard Nixon barely knew Henry Kissinger when he appointed him, notes Robert Dallek in Nixon and Kissinger, but they turned out to be two of a kind: both the products of unhappy childhoods, both paranoid, combative, grandiose, deceptive, relentlessly driven men.

"Bigger because the distance between the Mormon faith and conventional Judeo-Christian faith is wider. On the other hand, I think Americans are more tolerant than they once were." There are now two Buddhists and a Muslim in the House of Representatives. Is the U.S. open to electing someone from a new, different or marginal religious group? To Romney's disciples, it's an article of faith that the answer...
