Three-time Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Thomas L. Friedman speaks for most of the North American elite when he condemns “these anti-WTO protesters—who are a Noah’s ark of flat-earth advocates, protectionist trade unions and yuppies looking for their 1960s fix.” Yet, even within the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, there are some new voices admitting that the Friedman world view and policy prescriptions have led to misery for much of the world.

Whether you're riding Standard (from ¤57), First (¤100) or Dining class (¤145), there's no doubting the train's charm: heads turn, people wave, spotters jot numbers and take snaps. Diners get bubbly and a full English brunch on the way out, and a more nouvelle three courses coming home. Steam Dreams' 2003 timetable closes with a series of eight Christmas Carol Specials through...
