GIULIANI: One of the guys grabs an oxygen tank and wants to throw it through the glass. We stop him. Then he jimmies the door. We get in and get right on the phone. At that point, we hold an actual press conference. I talk to the Governor; he says, "We couldn't find you for a while." And I talk to NY1 on the telephone and get back in touch with the White House. Then I call to make sure my family is O.K. [Earlier, Giuliani has asked Kerik to have Gracie Mansion evacuated and make sure Giuliani...
...Berlin's ability to generate new hits had long since been sapped. Indeed, after Astaire's run of mid-30s hits, Berlin's only chart-toppers were instant nostalgia items, some actual oldies (Les Brown's 1949 version of the 1937 "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm"), some that only seemed that way ("White Christmas"). "Annie Get Your Gin" spawned three top-10 songs but no #1's. His last charter was another secular spiritual, "Count Your Blessings" - #5 for Eddie Fisher...
...undersecretary for transportation security isn't fazed. "We must meet our deadlines and will make every effort to meet them," John Magaw told the Senate Commerce Committee last Thursday.

Now, with almost no objective medical change, I am officially, publicly sick. How will that change the actual effect of the disease? Without, I hope, distorting the experiment, I predict that this notion of disease as a function of attitudes about disease will turn out to be more valid than I would have suspected eight years...
...Buddhists to buy this wholly, at all." Even some fellow believers find it hard to square his vision of a peaceful, all-embracing Christianity with the religion that burned heretics and launched crusades. Besides, not everyone is a postmodernist. Conservatives cringe when he says that discussions of the actual physical reality of the resurrection have "no place" in his theology. But at the very least, he has cleared a way for theologians to reclaim their place at the academic table, ending decades, if not centuries, of marginalization...
