Can gridlock be cured by expanding airports?

Article Abstract:

As much as $80 billion may have to be spent in expanding the facilities of major airports in the next twenty years. Airports throughout the US are becomingly increasingly congested but they have been surrounded by development and have little space to expand. Some critics suggest that money to be used in expansion could be better spent in refurbishing underused airports, military airports that are no longer being used and new airports in outlying areas where land is cheaper and the people are more accommodating towards airport facilities.

Holiday season blurs at send.com

Article Abstract:

Internet retailer send.com has spent $10 million since Feb 1999 as the company races for the 1999 holiday shopping season. Before the holiday started, send.com had to accomplish several hurdles, including establishing a network of 500 merchants, redesigning its website, forming a customer service department and creating an ad campaign. The relentless work schedule and the general chaos around the send.com's office paid off, with the company reporting positive returns as the holidays started.
