...Bianca recalls why Jones' original scheme for a bigger gun was scrapped. "It was primarily cost, to be honest with you," he said. "I was in the room when [the contractors] were basically told that 'this was our price-tag limits to develop this weapon' and they came back with a price tag and were told, `Well guys, you just designed yourself out of a weapons system.'" The gun's ultimate cost - $1.5 million a copy - ended up being too expensive in the Pentagon's eyes. That price - barely more than 1% of the V-22's current cost - ultimately...
...Ringside seats cost $3,000. (By comparison, the top ticket for the recent, much-ballyhooed fight between Oscar De la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM casino in Las Vegas were priced at $2,000.) The Ibragimov-Holyfield fight failed to live up to its lofty price tag, however, as the champ and challenger conducted a 12-round Krokus City pantomime. It was the case of a lionhearted, but aged ex-champ conserving his strength in order to go the distance against a belt-holding opponent who has benefited greatly from boxing's fall from primacy in the West...
...perfunctory once-over. Things have changed. For James Fasci, bag-checking is an art. He methodically inspects every compartment of every bag to ensure nothing slips past.

He removes the face from every calculator, just in case someone is trying to elope with a business card or slip of stolen printer paper. And he takes his time. Slowly, the line of would-be Lamont emigrants grows until it stretches far back from the security desk...
...rights law - which holds that the rights on a design last a maximum of 25 years, instead of 70 as in much of Europe - British furniture stores and websites are legitimately selling copies of the Egg chair, for example, for a fraction of the original's $5,000 price tag. "A commercial decision was taken to use some reproduction similar chairs," Lorraine Homer, spokeswoman for McDonald's in the U.K., tells TIME via e-mail. "Whilst we wish to continue placing Fritz Hansen chairs at some restaurants, using an off-the-peg alternative allows us to re-image a greater...
Whether Woods' skill with a mashie will translate to a drafting table is unproved, but there is no question he adds value. A price tag hasn't been put on homes in Tiger's new lair--he will have a place there but will keep his primary residence in Florida--but homes at other Cliffs communities range from $700,000 to more than $5 million, plus land costs...
