Still, summer is traditionally a time of fare wars--with the usual 1,001 restrictions. Last week, on the heels of previous sales by American and TWA, United announced a new volley: round-trip specials, up to 45% off regular 21-day advance-purchase fares. United was quickly matched by six other major carriers. Deeper digging yields deeper discounts. Surfing the airline and other Internet travel sites is one route, with some carriers, such as American, posting weekly bulletins with weekend fare sales. Consolidators also offer fares well below published tickets. The downside: less flexibility and tighter restrictions...
...trip to take your medicine with the Big Apple Circus makes for a highly entertaining evening--and none too expensive: tickets range from $10-35, and the taxi is $10 round-trip from South Station. Be prepared for a spectacle that's slightly less dizzying than a three-ring extravaganza but that compensates with a mascot: a cross-dressing middle-aged man named "Grandma" whose wig has a chinstrap...

Released after two years, he later went to Vietnam with the U.S. Army, was exposed to Agent Orange, developed...
...climbing the Billboard charts, and its featured single, Reach, has been designated as the official theme song of the Atlanta Olympics (she will perform it during the closing ceremonies). But singing star or no, Estefan, a 38-year-old mother of two, still has the unused portion of her round-trip ticket from Havana to Miami. Even as she chats, relaxed, in the two-story mansion she shares with her manager-husband Emilio on Star Island off the Miami coast, she thinks of Cuba, "mi tierra." She says mournfully: "I can't even see where I was born...
