in 1978, Mel and Patricia Ziegler - young journalists with a passion for travel - stumbled upon a brilliant idea. while he was in Australia working on a story, Mel had purchased an old British military safari jacket in a surplus store. when he returned home, people were curious where he got it.

mel and patricia started buying and reselling exotic army surplus clothes. they took huge risk, spending every cent the had on thousands of "gurkha shorts" . again, the gamble paid off; sales went through the roof, thought patricia the shorts were "kind of outrageous in 1978".

they took another gamble and and opened their first store in Mill Valley, California. word got aout and within two years , the Zieglers' mail order catalog had thousands of fans. they opened a second location of their store.. Banana Republic.. the rest is retail history..!

just 10 years ago Byrony Evens was a literary agent's office manager. one of her jobs was to sort out manuscripts by new authors. Byrony opened a package containing a children's book submission. although her agency did not represent children's books, the unusual folder caught Byrony's eye and she decide to read it rather than to reject it.

"i read the first 3 chapters, which is what had been sent in, and i loved it so much, i wanted to see the whole book. "

the book was rejected by a number of pulishers before it arrived at Bloomsbury. but they shared Byrony's passion and published...

Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone by JK Rowling.

michael tuohey was going to work like he had for 37 years, but little did he know that this day would change his life forever. on september 11 2001 tuohey, a ticket agent for US airways, checked in terrorist Mohammed atta for a flight that started a chain of events that would change history..

tuohey was working the US airways first class check in desks when two men, atta and his companion abdul azziz alomari, approached his counter. from all outward appearances, the men seemed to be normal businessmen, but tuohey felt something was wrong.

"i got an instant chill when i looked at atta. i got this gripped in my stomach and then, of course, i gave myself a political correct slap... i thought, my God, Michael, these are just a couple of Arab businessmen."

"i just had the feeling i was looking into the face of evil. they were the deadest eyes ive ever seen. i mean, it was just an unmistakable face. cold. "
