The Record column questions U S Transportation Secretary Mary E Peters plan to auction landing and departure times at Newark Liberty and other airports to private bidders.

The piece contrasts NATO expansion debate over Georgia with Russia's invasion and argues Georgia's NATO membership would drag the U S into war and questions the strategic value.
