...Klaus Eckstein hopes that he will never have to go to Zurich. Four years ago the 70-year-old retired schoolteacher, who lives in Cambridge, England, was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The disease was successfully treated with chemotherapy and surgery, "but if it returns and can no longer be cured, I am determined to go to Switzerland," Eckstein says. "I don't want to suffer needlessly." Eckstein would not be traveling to Zurich to see its famous Bahnhofstrasse. He would be part of a small but growing number of non-Swiss known grimly as "death tourists," terminally ill people...
...Justice Ministry has promised an appeal - though it's unlikely to succeed since the ruling is in line with the new law.

For its July issue, W magazine brought Ohno to the Dominican Republic where, serendipitously, the Clintons and Chelsea's boyfriend IAN KLAUS happened to be on vacation. When W asked them to pose together, the Clintons eagerly agreed. "They were in awe of Apolo, treating him like a celebrity," says W fashion director Joe Zee. In return, Ohno apparently made no snide comments about Bill's shirt...
...industry--Calpine, AES, Reliant Resources and Mirant--as likely targets. RWE CEO Dietmar Kuhnt insists that "we've done a lot of good acquisitions, and now we want to rest." But when analysts asked whether RWE had ruled out buying one of the big merchant generators, CFO Klaus Sturany said, "We are talking about one or two power plants at most...
