...fiancée Peggy Johnson and the Statue of Liberty renovation project, which he chairs. Iacocca already spends much of his time at his New York office.

Extending along most of the coast of South America, the dense Nazca plate of the Pacific, moving eastward, subducts, or descends beneath, the lighter mass of the South American plate, which is moving westward. As the oceanic plate dives deeper into a region of high temperature and pressure some 60 miles to 125 miles below...
...some 220,000 empty seats with travelers who ordinarily would stay home. The carrier offered a $29 one-way fare for any trip up to 500 miles, $49 for voyages between 501 and 1,500 miles and $79 for those over 1,500.

But what makes Lang special is his passion for the personal growth of students. Five years ago, he handed over $6 million to his alma mater, Swarthmore College, near Philadelphia. It was the largest single gift ever received by that quintessential liberal arts college, where the 1,300 or so students are deeply imbued with the school's Quaker...
