...frills pioneer has already founded 14 easyCompanies, ranging from movie theaters and men's cosmetics to pizza parlors and his upcoming breed of budget hotels. His greatest success, however, remains his first: easyJet, Europe's largest low-cost airline, growing 20% annually. Still, with the maritime industry booming, easyCruise may prove easy sailing for Mr. Easy. --By Anthee Carassava
...Rhodes and the ubiquitous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Built on the wealth of the largest goldfield in the world and the sweat of black labor, the club's membership was, until a few years ago, closed to South Africa's blacks. But these days, there's a new breed of tycoon walking the club's wood-paneled corridors and sipping whiskey in its stuffed leather chairs.

It is as if Yeager and his comrades evolved from birds while the earthbound dropped from trees to become prisoners of gravity. --By R.Z. Sheppard
...breed of section participant has recently surfaced, however. Pissed off to be in section like a chronic underachiever, yet highly prepared in Type A fashion, these monsters are appearing everywhere. Belligerent, annoyed, and often with piercingly loud voices, they’re creeping into classes from Post-Modernism to BS 54. They aren’t especially intelligent or insightful, but that in no way prevents them from engaging in section participation as though it were a full body contact sport...
