...million to convert an old cargo facility into a spartan self-service terminal. Passengers will collect their tickets from automated booths and, after clearing security, tag their own bags and hoist them onto conveyor belts. Then it's time to hoof onto the tarmac. Says Philippe Roy of Geneva's International Airport: "If it rains, well, it rains." It's all part of the ruthless effort to spend less. "Airport-related costs represent about 25% of our yearly operational costs," explains Elodie Gythiel, easyJet spokeswoman in France. "If we can lower these, fares should go down." While the flying public...
After illusionist Roy Horn was mauled by one of his own performing tigers on a Las Vegas stage last October, grieving fans held vigils outside the hospital where the critically injured showman was admitted, and placed mementos at the foot of a Siegfried & Roy statue on the city's Strip. Sixteen time zones away, in a drab industrial building at the far end of a Hong Kong subway line, the shock was felt just as much.

Far from a bluegrass blueblood, he made his living as a Philadelphia car dealer, and it was in his showroom in 1976 that he and Pat met. A decade...
...Chapmans' place was a lunch-bucket operation that never earned much acclaim. In 2001 the farm took a devastating hit when trainer Bob Camac and his wife were shot to death by the wife's son in a quarrel over money. That sucked the life out of Roy--from whom emphysema was already sucking the breath--and he decided to sell out. Pat persuaded him to keep two horses, a pair of yearlings they sent to a farm in Florida so that its general manager, George Isaacs, could evaluate them. "Let's see what you have here," Isaacs said...
