...corporate battle has broken out across the Atlantic in Europe. Call it the "Low-Fare Airline Wars." The dueling companies, Ryanair and easyJet, have always had an intense rivalry, but in recent weeks, the backbiting between the bargain-basement airlines has gotten ugly - and personal. The fighting began when Ryanair launched an ad earlier this year accusing London-based easyJet of trying to hide its on-time flight statistics and depicting the airline's founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, with an elongated Pinocchio nose.

Indeed, for more than 20 years, the priest worked as a curate and parish administrator in the picturesque Bavarian town of Garching an der Alz, where he had regular contact with children and had supervised 150 altar-boys. The official had stumbled across old files which raised alarm bells.
