Three days a week, year-round, the train travels between Vancouver and Toronto, stopping in Jasper, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. A Silver & Blue ticket, which costs from $747 to $2,128, includes sleeping accommodations, meals and exclusive use of the Park Car with its dome section and lounges (www.viarail.ca, 888-VIARail). --By Valerie Marchant...
...best solutions may be the big-ticket improvements that have proved most elusive. The FAA continues to support a sophisticated ground-radar system that is $30 million over budget and years late. Closing poorly designed airports and restricting the number of flights per hour would probably prove effective--and expensive. It comes down, says Air Safety Week editor David Evans, to "the classic tension between economics and safety." In this trade-off, there's a lot to be said for safety.

Frankly, I don't really know. Maybe they made plans to play laser tag but Bush cancelled at the last minute. At any rate...
Duke University: This southern school's team is nicknamed the "Blue Devils" because it represents the evil of all college basketball. This deceitful institution consolidates its power by recruiting most of the best high-school players with promises of "an education and a free ticket to the worst NBA team." Duke is coached by Beelzebub himself, a.k.a. Mike Krzyzewski (strangely pronounced "Shu-shef-skee"). The Duke fans--dubbed Cameron Crazies--are nothing more than deluded Satanists that religiously worship Krzyzewski...
