Airline
Merger Delta and Northwest Airlines have
proposed a merger that would create the world's largest
airline. Rising fuel prices and a sputtering economy are forcing
the airlines to join forces. The new combined company would
be called Delta; have a value of $17.7 billion and be based
in Atlanta. To find out what the merger means for the industry
and travelers, we speak to Micheline Maynard, business reporter
for The New York Times.

Langford and George Washington University law professor Jonathan
Turley.

that put girls at greater risk of certain types of injuries,
particularly those related to the knee and foot. We talk to
syndicated
health columnist Judy Foreman.
