...around, and some I noticed had even adopted the WSJ and cigars. But the fact that Wall Street’s packed New York Sports Club can’t fill its aerobics classes suggests that there are fewer women—at least those who could afford pricey NYSC memberships. And actually, while Wall Street women may think green like their male counterparts, they make 80 cents for every dollar paid to men. The sad reality is that women are only 15.7 percent of corporate officers of Fortune 500 companies and 5.2 percent of executives who earn...
...Fernandes, a fast-talking, 40-year-old Malaysian, has become the poster child for the new movement. A 12-year veteran at Warner Music in Asia, Fernandes sold his pricey AOL Time Warner stock options and in 2001 bought into a sleepy two-plane airline in Kuala Lumpur. He now has 18 planes and is looking to buy 80 more over the next eight years. From starting with only 12 flights a day, AirAsia currently has a hundred. On July 1 alone, AirAsia launched its first flight from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, added a second to Bangkok and announced...
...wants to share the joy. A guided tasting with sommeliers Andrea Sturniolo or Ian Domenico D'Agata is vastly entertaining and full of great tips (Aglianico grapes make Italy's best affordable, high-quality reds; 1998 was a very good year for Chianti, but not for its pricey neighbor in Montalcino?for a Brunello, choose a '97 or a '99).

Chirita isn't feeling well. A furry green creature with four legs and a pair of wings, she has come down with a case of the Neomites, a common affliction in the mythical online world of Neopia. The Neopian pharmacy sometimes stocks a cure, but it's pricey, costing about 330 Neopoints. What's Chirita's owner, Wendy Mendoza, 10, of Atlanta, to do? One way to rack up the points would be to play any of the 110 free games on Neopets.com trying activities like bumper cars or chemistry for beginners. Then again, Wendy could also score by hunting...
...Tokyo was the most expensive city in the world for expats, with London No. 2. I demand a recount. I may not have sophisticated economic data to back me up, but I do have anecdotes. My friend Julian, a lawyer, just moved from London to Tokyo. "Tokyo can be pricey," he says. "You go into a supermarket, put a nice honeydew melon in your trolley and pay ¥15,000, which is $150. But if you avoid melons and Kobe beef it's about the same as London." I doubt it. London real estate is as absurdly inflated...
