Could it be?
The BBC reported today that not one of the major English or Urdhu language newspapers in Pakistan carried a story today of the Nobel Peace Prize award to Malala in Stockholm or Oslo. Amazing. Even if they do not like her, this is big Pakistani news, I think.
Brazil panel delivers report on regime brutality
It was a very sad day, first with the Senate Intelligence Committee report on torture, then this report from Brazil and finally the interview with Angeline JOLIE on NBC about the movie she has made of the man who was a prisoner for years in a Japanese camp during World War II. So much pain inflicted on other human beings. It is too much for one day.

I saw him on CNN today, or perhaps it was MSNBC. It's easy to identify with this sad story. We would do ourselves a service by realizing that more often. Here is more of his story; I think I met him when he was at the Washington Post.

Hello Terry,
RE: Case Number 14294593
Thanks for your response sharing your
dissatisfaction with the response you received. I apologize that you are still

I’m really sorry you needed to write again

Please know we provide safety information via the safety packet in the pocket
in the seat in front of you and our flight attendants will advise the
passengers also during their safety presentation onboard each aircraft if you
have any additional questions.
Your patronage is appreciated and we look
forward to your future travel in December.

Please explain your answer and if I am right about it being

Hi Terry,
RE: Case Number 14294593
I'm sorry you feel the process for
contacting us is difficult. This isn't on purpose. However, there are some
auto-generated emails that are sent for informational purposes only and state
do not reply. We're also working through a backlog of emails and as a result
aren't able to reply to emails as fast as we'd like to. Unfortunately, we're
not able to retrieve your original comments to the auto-generated email in
question.
Yes, life preservers are located at every
seat underneath the front of the seat on every plane we fly. So, in an
emergency with instructions to dawn the life preserver you would simply reached
down retrieve the life preserver and secure it as instructed.
We hope to see you again on Delta soon.
Regards,
Allen Warner

I noted my concerns in the form that you
require us to complete.
You sure do make it bureaucratic and
complicated, and I forget now if there was something more that I wanted to
raise. It took you a week to reply!
Oh, I do remember one thing – where,
specifically, are life preservers stored on the airplane that I took from JFK
back to RDU? I was distressed to read that the only life saving device at our
seats on that aircraft are the seats themselves. I do not recall any
instruction or information about where the actual life preservers are stored.
Are there enough on board for all passengers? A flight leaving JFK for RDU
spends some time over a lot of very cold ocean, especially right after takeoff.
