Yes, check out Virgin America...they have some great deals starting at $39 one way. The fares need to be booked by December 8th for travel from December 3, 2009 to May 23, 2010. There are a few blackout dates...but not nearly as many as you get with other airlines.
The downside of Virgin America is that do not have that many hubs/cities they service yet...but the service is excellent and the fares are unbeatable.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
