Discreet discounts, on the other hand, are all the rage. Priceline, for example is expanding its roster of top-flight inns. "Hotels that we've wanted for a long time, like five-star hotels, are coming in," says Chris Soder, president of North American travel. Yesawich explains that hotels are taking a portion of their inventory, maybe 20 to 50 rooms, and selectively discounting them in this opaque way. "Even a modest rate is better than no rate...
...Perhaps there was no time for chivalry aboard the Estonia. Many children, mothers and elderly people were asleep in cabins deep within the ship. Patrons in the upper-deck bars were mainly males. "In the circumstances, it is clear who will survive," said Dr. Steffan Torngren, of Stockholm's Soder Hospital, where 31 victims were treated.

The Trib's own news-column byliners and the editorial page at times even find themselves in disagreement...
...first time since the day in 1934 when McCormick ordered radical new simplified spelling, the Trib was going back to some old spelling rules. Instead of such words as frate, grafic, tarif, soder and sofisticated, the Trib will now use freight, graphic, tarif, solder and sophisticated, just like everybody else. Still unchanged are the Colonel's spellings of such words as thoro, burocratic and altho...
