Memories are made of this
Article Abstract:
There are a number of similarities between the Princess of Wales's trip on Mohamed Al Fayed's yacht and the trip made by Jackie Kennedy on 'Christina,' a yacht owned by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. The two women were raised in similar family circumstances, and both went on to have two greatly loved children. Both women fell victim to husbands who struck up alternative relationships, and both began to feel trap by the family into which they had married. It seems that they both became attracted to the charms of wealthy foreign men.

On no! It's raining on our miracle
Article Abstract:
Macy's stores are on the point of bankruptcy after changing their image in the 1970's and losing public appeal. Macy's had become an American myth after first being set up in 1858 in Manhatten and then moving to 34th Street in 1902. A policy of glamour and thriftiness populised the store to all levels of society, but in the 1970s a new owner Edward Finkelstein attempted to take it upmarket and expand. Mounting debts and loss of sales is leading it to bankruptcy and New York could also lose its famous Macy's parade.
