Getting to an airport is always an event. The drive-in, the check-in, the hurry-in are a whirl of moving parts in the tedious flying experience.
American Airline's concourse at Logan airport in Boston is like most others. Floor pavers echo a clattery rumble from wheely luggage, glass walls frame the city's international runways, and florescent lights reflect from vaulted ceilings. Much of the stream lined space is predictable. In a sense, if you've seen one airport terminal you've seen them all.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama honored 21 individuals and organizations on Thursday for works that he says have helped Americans connect and understand each other a little better through the arts and humanities.
The honorees included actress Sally Field, author Stephen King and chef Alice Waters. And to paraphrase one ofField's most famous lines, when she accepted her second Oscar for best actress, the president told the group: "We like you. We really like you."
