One is a leather pouch that holds the ashes of Sean Sellers, the only person executed for a crime committed as a 16-year-old since the death penalty was reinstated in the U.S. in 1976. Sellers--who murdered his mother, his stepfather and a store clerk--was dispatched by lethal injection in 1999, when he was 29.

Just before departure, flyers are whisked to their plane in a Mercedes or Porsche. Lufthansa is planning a similar terminal for Munich and perhaps other airports. --By Sally B. Donnelly
Cigar Masters is by far the most luxurious of Boston’s cigar bars. It has the finest cushy leather couches, vintage liquors, and, of course, cigars to be had this far north of Cuba. Highly recommended by Hans Rickneit of Leavitt and Pierce, as well as Cigar Afficionato, this is the best smoke in town for a young beginning smoker.
