This is a partial transcript from " Hannity & Colmes ," June 7, 2006, that has been edited for clarity. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MARK MALLOCH BROWN, KOFI ANNAN'S DEPUTY: Much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors, such as Rush Limbaugh and FOX News. That is what I meant by stealth diplomacy. (END VIDEO CLIP) HANNITY: Those were the words of Kofi Annan 's deputy Mark Malloch Brown , as he blasted radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh and our very own FOX News Channel. U.S. Ambassador John Bolton has responded with outrage. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JOHN BOLTON, U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS: Even worse was the condescending and patronizing tone about the American people that, fundamentally and very sadly, this was a criticism of the American people, not the American government, by an international civil servant. It's just illegitimate. (END VIDEO CLIP) HANNITY: But tonight, the Secretary General is standing by his man. So what prompted his attack on FOX and Rush? Joining us now, our very own Eric Shawn . He's the author of the book — it's brand-new — "The U.N. Exposed: How the United Nations Sabotages America's Security and Fails the World." I agree with the title, and I read the book. I agree with almost everything. I can't think of anything I disagree with in the book. I think what Bolton here is saying is absolutely right, that it's the criticism of the American people.

Closing Thoughts 116 2 Part One United Airlines before the Deregulation Act of 1938 United Airlines officially began airline operations in 1926 as a mail carrier. It was also the first fare- paying airline to fly customers from coast to coast in the United States, and by 1930, had introduced the concept of an airline stewardess. The airline soon became one of the “Big Four” contenders in the U.S. and continues to be one of America’s major airlines. It was founded in Boise, Idaho. United Airlines was originally formed as a partnership between Boeing Airplane Company and Pratt & Whitney. It was overseen by the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation and United Air Lines was actually an operating division that was established on July 1, 1931. United’s slogan was the “World’s Largest Air Transport System”. The four transport divisions of the United Aircraft and Transportation Corporation had now become United Airlines. When the Air Mail Act of 1934 broke up all of the aviation holding companies in the United States, the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation was broken up into Boeing, United Aircraft and United Air Lines. It was at this time that United Airlines began offering coast-to-coast service from New York to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Within four months of the beginning coast-to-coast operations, United Air Lines was making as many as 11 round trips every day between Chicago and New York.

Pan Am Flight 759 taxied out into what seemed to be a typical summer thunderstorm situation in New Orleans. Exactly 60 seconds after the pilots of the Boeing-727 aircraft released the brakes, and only 20 seconds after liftoff, the flight crashed just east of New Orleans International Airport, kill- ing all 145 persons aboard and 8 persons on the ground.' In its report of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) listed the probable cause of the disaster as the aircraft's encounter with severe low-altitude wind shear. The report also stated that "[c]ontributing to the accident was the limited capability of current ground-based, low-level wind shear detection technology to provide definitive gui- dance for controllers and pilots for use in avoiding low-level '3 wind shear encounters."
