There are plenty of good travel sites, so any new entry needs to have a better idea. Farecast.com uses fearsome computer power to predict the direction of plane fares. That helps travelers figure out the optimum time to buy a ticket. It was founded by Oren Etzioni, who created the Web's first meta-search site (it scans multiple search engines) and first shopping-comparison tool. Farecast uses an algorithm to crunch 100 billion prices in its database, then evaluates 200 attributes that affect plane fares. From those trillions of combinations, it figures out whether you should buy a ticket...
...resort facilities, including the health spa. Later that year, the Milan anti-terrorism prosecutor Antonio Spataro began investigating whether CIA agents had rendered an Egyptian prisoner, Abu Omar-Osama Nasr, illegally from Italy. Spataro told Grey that among the findings that most surprised him was the high-ticket hotel bills in his city; two alleged CIA agents under the names of Monica Adler and John Duffin spent $18,000 in a three-week stay at the Milan Savoy.

...anti-terrorism tools that have drawn criticism from Democrats who argue that Bush has overreached. He wraps up by asserting it is "no surprise that such a party would turn its back on a man like Senator Joe Lieberman," the Connecticut Democrat (and Cheney counterpart on Al Gore's ticket in 2000) who lost his primary over his support for the Iraq war, and is now running as an independent. "It's a reminder that the elections on November 7th will have enormous consequences for this nation, one way or the other," he says. It's a message he seems...
...Chorus Line didn't need shills in the ticket line for long. It opened a few weeks later to raves, moved to Broadway, went on to win nine Tonys and ran for a (then, but no longer) mind-boggling 15 years. Its celebration of old-fashioned Broadway pizzazz combined with an astringent, character-driven intimacy - about the struggles, both professional and personal, of a band of aspiring Broadway hoofers auditioning for a new show - was something fresh in musicals. But a lot has changed since those pre-AIDS, pre-Andrew Lloyd Webber days. For one thing, the self-referential, show...
