...Boeing headed into a more or less permanent tailspin? The stock market has long seemed to be saying so, as it cut the value of Boeing shares 26% over the past year. But the company claims to be in a turnaround. Top executives say Boeing delivered 61 commercial jets last month, a record for June, and has finally broken through bottlenecks that delayed production of its so-called Next-Generation 737s, the fastest-selling new jets in aviation history. That news caused Boeing stock to climb $3.875 a share, to $48.437, last week, still well off its 12-month high...
...manufacturing archrivals are also locked in a bet-your-company stare-down over the immediate future of air travel. Airbus foresees a market for a superjumbo successor to the 747 that can haul anywhere from 555 to nearly 1,000 passengers. (The largest 747 carries as many as 568 people.) Working with some 20 airlines, Airbus is spending $9 billion to develop a plane it calls the A3XX and promises to roll out the monster by 2004. Boeing says its own "medium-large" 767s and 777s can easily connect cities such as Cincinnati, Ohio, and Frankfurt, Germany, eliminating the need...

If approved by the FDA, Celebra could be available as early as next year...

But if the bull market has swelled your estate to $1.5 million or more, consider these tax breaks now--before they vanish...
...personal-residence trust allows you to give away your house at less than its market value. It is best suited for a vacation house that you'd like to keep in the family for generations, but can be used with a primary residence as well. Here's how it works: You set up a trust and put the house in it, stipulating how long you will continue to live there. The IRS calculates the value of your remaining years in the house and subtracts it from the market value. Say your house is worth $500,000 and you stipulate...
