Airbus blundered with the A380, has got a world of problems with its widebody jet lineup and needs to bite the bullet and do another redesign on the A350 — even if it means losing credibility and sales. That’s the view from no less august a body than researchers at Oxford University. http://www.forbes.com/business/2006/05/17/boeing-airbus-profit-cx_0518oxford.html

As I type this, I fear I might get another disciplinary notice from Columbia’s Orwellian Office of Institutional Equity. As I have learned from <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/04/22/office-of-institutional-equity-investigates-palestinian-activists-following-spectator-op-ed/" rel="">past experience</a>, Spectator op-eds are now grounds for disciplinary action.
