Lisbon Fair Attendance Falls Short of Early Hopes
At the Lisbon exposition, about 200000 people were expected on the fair's opening day amid a four month event that drew far fewer visitors than forecast. Two weeks into the run, total attendance rose to 9.8 million, below the initial 15 million projection. The fair, organized to boost Portugal’s industry and international profile, drew focus on global trade and development, with Hanover Germany set to host the next world’s fair. Also reported were updates on a Seoul court decision in a Korean student murder case, and other regional notes.

The change follows CN privatization and rising barge competition on the Mississippi as Great Lakes ships face ice closures each winter.
