STRATFORD, Conn.--One of the world's great studies of what it takes to be a first-rate ruler is Shakespeare's set of four plays comprising Richard II, the two parts of Henry IV, and Henry V.

Boeing is building a mockup, plans to display it around September. The plane has just undergone major modifications, making it heavier (300 tons v. Lockheed's 250 tons), longer (298 ft. v. 273 ft.) and more capacious (300 passengers, six abreast instead of five...
