Linus Kwame Deh of a mud hut. His parents divorced before he reached school age, and it was his father--a bricklayer and farmer--who raised him. Kwame means Saturday, the day he was born; Linus is his Christian, or colonial, name. At school, in the lush hills of the Volta region--an area that was colonized by the Germans but later came under British rule--the young Kwame sang God Save the King and saluted the British flag. "That's the training for discipline," remembers Kwame...

"That's the training for discipline," remembers Kwame, now 72. Along with discipline, the British brought some measure...
...traffic is so lush that established carriers like British Airways, American, Continental and United have shifted some of their capacity to accommodate increasing corporate demand. And since landing slots in London's Heathrow are still heavily regulated by treaty, these legacy airlines have been collecting rent from premium passengers. A first-class round trip on the New York--London route of British Airways, for example, can cost upwards of $14,000; its Club World, or business class, about $9,600. Yet coach can be $500 for a round trip...
