Triantafillou--who along with Reeves and Councillor Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. wants to remove City Manager Robert W. Healy from office--said that perhaps she and Healy have more in common than is thought...
...Clinton and the Environmental Protection Agency are announcing tough new emissions standards that will apply not only to cars but also to the ubiquitous family of Explorers, Expeditions, Range Rovers and the like. The institution of these new standards, to be required in all 2004 models, will be helped along by the EPA's strict new directive to refiners: Reduce the sulfur content in gasoline by 90 percent.

The DC06 hums along at 1.5 ft. per sec. and can negotiate small inclines up to 1-in. high. If it sounds too good to be true, perhaps the price will bring you back to earth: at $3,500, it's more expensive than hired help...
