...upstate New York, it's still the economy, stupid. Since 1960 the city of Utica, for example, has lost half its population--down to 64,000 from 125,000--and much of the region has scarcely benefited from the boom of the 1990s, suggesting that the same lunch-pail issues that delivered New York to Bill in 1992 could help deliver it to Hillary in 2000.

Rather than stuff passengers into a tour bus to take them to the Taj Mahal, INTRAV has chartered a jet that will get them to the palace in the early morning and back to a four-star hotel in Delhi in time for lunch. The 18-day, hassle-free millennium package costs $75,000. Who's buying? "The percentage of travelers who are millionaires is staggering," says David M. Weber, managing director of two-year-old R.
