...auction lot of 21 Michael Jackson items, ranging from vintage posters to a shirt, sold for $205,000 during a Las Vegas event the day after his death. The same items fetched only $15,000 in a private sale about six years earlier, says Darren Julien, president and founder of Julien's Auctions, who hosted the event. Among the items was a heavily-beaded shirt the pop artist wore during his Victory tour. "We had estimated it would get $2,000 to $3,000, but we sold it for $54,000," he says.

Other winemakers are becoming intrigued. After Marionnet created a cuvée from the abandoned Gamay de Bouze, young neighbor Julien Courtois of Clos de la Bruyère created his Elément-Terre of pure Gamay de Chaudenay. The two are undoubtedly the only cuvées of their kind. And using the traditional oxidative vin de voile method - in which casks are only partially filled, allowing yeast to grow on the wine's exposed surface - Courtois has transformed ancient Loire varietal Menu Pineau into an ethereal wine with a bouquet of hazelnut and mouth of caramelized apple...
...some people have firsthand experience of ADIRU failures on Air France flights: Air France pilots. Julien Gourguechon, International Secretary General of the French Pilots Union (SNPL) and an Air France pilot of 10 years, says ADIRU failures are not foreign to him, his colleagues or other French pilots flying for other companies and the military. "For sure there are pilots from SNPL who have experienced ADIRU problems," he says. But, he adds, this is "very rare ... You don't have more fly-by-wire technical failure with them than you do with hydraulic, mechanic or engine failure." As for Flight...
...With no physical evidence and no witnesses, identifying the circumstances of Flight 477's disappearance will take time. For Julien Gourguechon, international secretary-general of the SNPL French pilots' union, the current hypothesis of an electrical-systems failure leads to more questions than answers. "If Air France mentioned they received a message of short circuit, we can conclude it was a rather serious one," he says. "But in the case of an A330, even the most serious type of short circuit - known as an emergency electrical configuration - is something absolutely manageable for a trained team. So at this time...
Aziliz Gouez, 29, anthropologist I might start the day at Librairie José Corti, tel: (33-1) 4326 6300, an old bookshop with beautiful woodwork across from the Luxembourg Gardens. It was founded by José Corti, a man of exceptional taste, who published Julien Gracq and other surrealists. After that I'd head up Rue Saint-Maur, stopping for lunch at the magnificent Algerian pastry shop La Bague de Kenza, tel: (33-1) 4314 9315. I'd order something hot like a m'hajeb - bell-pepper-and-tomato-stuffed pastry. Finally, my day would end at the bistro...
