I'll be posting the complete report on the Sept. 29 mid-air disaster that ExcelAire recently submitted to the Federal Police, as translated from the Portuguese by our Sao Paulo bureau chief Richard Pedicini, tomorrow, rather than today.
Some items from today's news:
-- Chump change in Tokyo ...
-- At least Bill Clinton didn't have to pay for it, unlike these sad sacks ... And lookit here -- man, you simply can't make this stuff up ...
-- At last, the Wall Street Journal might have a more moderate (or at least somewhat less-insane) editorial page ...
