PANAMA CITY, Panama - Former military strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega was flown home to Panama on Sunday to be punished once again for crimes he committed during a career that saw him transformed from a close Cold War ally of Washington to the vilified target of a U.S. invasion.
Noriega left Orly airport, south of Paris, on a flight operated by Spain's Iberia airlines. He was delivered directly to the aircraft by a four-car convoy and motorcycles that escorted him from the French capital's La Sante prison.

PARIS - Airlines flying into France were ordered to slash schedules - and to bring enough fuel for the trip out. Gas stations ran short or dry, while truckers jammed highway traffic Monday by driving at a snail's pace, a tactic known in French as "operation escargot.
Strikes over the government's plans to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60 disrupted daily life and a wide swath of industry - from oil refining to travel to shipping - as protesters fought a proposal they say tampers with the near-sacred French social contract.

MORONI, Comoros -- A Yemeni jetliner carrying 153 people crashed into the Indian Ocean on Tuesday as it attempted to land amid severe turbulence and howling winds. Officials said a teenage girl was plucked from the sea, the only known survivor.
The crash in waters off this island nation came two years after aviation officials reported equipment faults with the plane, an aging Airbus 310 flying the last leg of a Yemenia airlines flight from Paris and Marseille to Comoros, with a stop in Yemen to change planes.

Boeing Boeing is a 1960s play with a title inspired by the planes that began to take off in that "jet age." Back then, airlines didn't have attendants. They had beautiful stewardesses of many nationalities. Put them all together and you have a hilarious comedy. Head for Lyric Theatre at the Plaza and enjoy the fun. The play will be onstage until April 16.
The plot involves a handsome American architect, Bernard, living in Paris and "engaged" with and to three airline stewardesses, Gloria, the American; Gabriella, the Italian, and Gretchen, the German. How does he do it? He has the schedules for all three airlines and never lets more than one of them be in Paris at the same time. The fun begins with airline schedules changing unexpectedly. (Aren't we all familiar with this?).
