...DIED. FREDDIE LAKER, 83, ebullient airline industry underdog and visionary who in the 1970s pioneered the concept of cheap fares for the masses with his short-lived but much admired Skytrain service; in Hollywood, Florida. Launched in 1978, the London-based service encouraged flyers to cross the Atlantic casually, without even booking a flight. Though his company disbanded in 1982 after bigger airlines slashed fares, Laker became a hero to entrepreneurs including his fellow Briton Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson...
