Myanmar letting in one American aid plane today...by Sybil Sage

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma (sounded too Jewish?) has finally agreed to admit the first U.S. airlift today, which is bringing 28,000 pounds of supplies to the seriously ravaged country, estimated to have as many as two million of its people victimized by last week's cyclone.

There is little good news related to this event, but we can be grateful that American Airlines is not bringing the aid as they have the worst on-time arrival record of any American airline and mishandle 7.34 bags per 1,000.
