...sons into white-collar jobs at such giant chaebol, or conglomerates, as Samsung that dominate the economy. More than a year of life under the yoke of a humiliating $58 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund has crushed all that. A bright horizon of lifetime jobs and seemingly nonstop growth has suddenly dimmed. In its place: soaring unemployment, a more competitive role in the global economy and diminished expectations for a country that had worked hard for its place in the sun but had also been living beyond its means...
...mathematicians without warning--a frail, disheveled, elderly man, hopped up on amphetamines and wearing a ratty raincoat--and announce, in a thick Hungarian accent, "My mind is open."

The Breitling, which headed south and then east from Switzerland on March 1, raced across Mexico from the Pacific on Tuesday, and headed out over the Caribbean. Piccard and Jones have already broken the world record of 14,235 miles set last August by American Steve Fossett...
