The Nov. 7 article "JAL must stay aloft until January: turnaround chief" states that Japan Airlines Corp. will scrap 16 money-losing domestic and international flights by the end of May. How much money are these flights losing? Why not shut them down next month? Why spend good money after bad?

Regarding James Guthrie's Nov. 8 letter, "Couples' weak pursuit of romance": As someone blissfully married to a Japanese guy, I am always amused by this sort of opinion.

Little to gain from Soros' words

George Soros' assertion in his Nov. 8 article, "No alternative to a new world architecture," is simple. I may never be as smart as Soros, but a poor Kyoto monk like me knows that the world is not a zero-sum game.
