  Arthur Hailey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After working at a number of jobs and writing part-time, he became a full-time writer in 1956, encouraged by the success of the CBC television drama, Flight into Danger (in print as Runway Zero Eight).
Following the success of Hotel in 1965, he moved to California; in 1969, he moved to the Bahamas to avoid Canadian and U.S. income taxes, which were claiming 90% of his income.
Many have been made into movies and Hotel was made into a long-running television series.

Relatives of deep vein thrombosis patients are lobbying MPs on Wednesday for a full public inquiry into the link between air travel and the condition.
It is widely suspected that there is a tiny risk of suffering a dangerous clot during long-haul air travel - as there is in any form of travel in which passengers are immobile for long periods.
While this can be painful in itself, the condition becomes more dangerous in some cases, where a tiny part of the clot breaks away and travels around the bloodstream before lodging in the lung or brain.

The court treated the prospect that the alien might not be removed in the foreseeable future as a possibility not contemplated by Congress, and one that the court assumed would have led Congress to place limits on post-removal-period detention.
In 1988, Congress enacted a provision directing the Attorney General to take into custody any alien convicted of an aggravated felony upon completion of his criminal sentence, and not to release the aggravated felon from custody, notwithstanding 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(1) (1988), which otherwise permitted the discretionary release of aliens while deportation proceedings were pending.
