There doesn't seem to be any evidence yet that the Brazil crash was anything other than a tragic mistake. The Times account is actually quite amazing, and I think it is quite reasonably told from the lear jet passengers' POV.

Appears Brasil is holding those two pilots who clipped that 727 killing all 149 passengers. Ain't that like the rich? do whatever they want such as flying at the wrong altitude. I wonder how that NY Times writer feel about that gallows humor now?

...because, clearly, money is the only thing you care about. Sweet!

Obviously, *some* New Yorkers can afford it. And I never lose anything important when I save money.

What's the point of having zoning laws if variances are as easy to come by as limos on 10th Avenue? Just what this city needs -- more ridiculously expensive housing that New Yorkers can't afford.

Coliseum Books was one of those stores that you thought would always be there. Independent bookstores are gems and it is a real shame. Sure getting books over the internet is cheap, but you loose something important saving money.
