Flying big ride
Airbus has taken plenty of orders for its giant A380 airline from Europe and Asia, but not one from an airline in the United States.

Grill it, don’t nurse it: After taking care of a fawn whose mother was struck and killed by a car, a police officer in Toledo, Ohio, faces prosecution for breaking state wildlife laws.
