Inland river travel boom eyed with new Mississippi Queen
The Delta Queen Steamboat Company and Overseas National Airways wager about 18 million dollars on a revival of inland river cruising. The Mississippi Queen, first stern paddlewheel for overnight trips in 50 years, targets 50 to 150 dollars per person daily plus extras as a modern ultraluxury liner.

Hopes for First American Born Panda End With Inexperience
The National Zoo reports Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing failed to mate successfully during a week long breeding attempt. Ling Ling showed inexperience and ineptitude with rare embraces but no pregnancy occurred. Officials note a small chance of pregnancy, but most likely the pair will be reunited next spring for another try if interest returns.
