Price is priority for women
NEW YORK -- As companies keep cutting costs, women who travel for business are more concerned with price rather than services, according to a recent survey by New York University. More than three-quarters of the women polled, 77 percent, said they always or often choose the lowest fare possible when flying, and nearly half, 48 percent, said they always or often take the lowest-priced hotel room.
Among hotels, location is still the top consideration. After that factor, price now edged services by a 37 percent to 20 percent margin.
Celebrities' estates
NEW YORK -- They are gone but not forgotten. Late celebrities' estates command some hefty annual incomes, according to a ranking of estimated earnings.
Elvis Presley is the king of annual income, generating about $40 million for his estate this year, according to the research by Forbes.com. Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz was second, about $8 million behind Elvis. "The Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien was No. 3, with $22 million. Beatles' John Lennon and George Harrison rounded out the top five, with a collective $35 million this year.
