...Brooklyn, N.Y., however, entrepreneur Tim McCarthy is ignoring the economic uncertainties and plunging ahead with expansion of his start-up Great Harbor Design Center. McCarthy's company, founded in July 1997, makes synthetic stone from recycled glass and concrete. He is planning to make large equipment purchases in December and to start full production in February. He says he's not bothered much by what is going on around him. "I'd always assumed we would be dealing in a very volatile market," he says. "I knew there was going to be a downturn. I just didn't know...
...theater on Broadway and threaten a room of schoolchildren. Despite the desperate manhunt being carried on by Hubbard and Bening, the government is forced to react as more people are killed and the public cries for action.

(The most dangerous place in Washington, Bob Dole once said, is between Schumer and a TV camera.) And this time, some of D'Amato's old tricks haven't been working. He and his consultant, the reclusive Arthur Finkelstein, like to brand opponents as hopelessly, shamelessly, endlessly liberal, but Schumer supports the death penalty and wrote the 1994 Crime Bill, which...
...please let me not hear from bitter Yankee haters who have spent their shriveled lives missing the Brooklyn Dodgers, or from Boston fans who make bad poetry of the beauty of losing. The Yanks did not lose a series for 23 regular-season series. They were leading in the game for 47 straight games. They outscored opponents by a total of 300 runs...
