Archer's negotiations with the industry were a closed-door affair. When he began the sessions on Aug. 11, officials from Metabolife and seven other companies flanked both sides of the U-shaped mahogany conference table in the department's boardroom. No outside doctors or consumer advocates were invited--unusual if Archer hoped to find common ground. Also missing were Archer's staff experts who favored strong regulation of ephedrine...
...tears and speaking in an icy voice, Hanover aimed for the heart. She said their marriage had been damaged in the 1990s by Giuliani's relationship with a city hall staff member. Giuliani and the woman in question, former communications director Cristyne Lategano, have persistently denied their long-rumored affair, but Hanover--breaking years of silence--reignited the story, adding that she had tried to patch things up after Lategano left city hall but Rudy "chose another path."

These events transpired in roughly two months of the Amazins' 1999 Wild Card season. Now that's entertainment...
...avalanche - not all the sorrows of Job, but a few of them. Giuliani is diagnosed with prostate cancer. His marriage of many years cracks apart, and he handles it maladroitly, announcing the breakup to the world without bothering to tell his wife that the marriage is over. His affair with another woman becomes a feast for tabloids. The private Rudy seems to shriek confirmation of his enemies' suspicions about the public Rudy...
