...hoping to run? City council president Lawrence Bell, whom staff members often refer to as the "President," put out a lovely campaign brochure featuring his smiling mug, happy schoolchildren, a calculator and those picturesque Victorian town houses of, um, San Francisco. Bell, 37, may aspire to be Willie Brown, but so far all he has is the suits. Bell dropped a cool $4,323 of campaign money on clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue, which does not have a store in Baltimore.

The lack of moisture has caused trees in New England and beyond to dry up and turn brown ahead of schedule. This has local businesses worried that the lack of foliage could cause tourists to make like a tree and, well, not show up at all those cute bed-and-breakfasts. And that could shave a considerable chunk of the estimated $8 billion that leaf-peepers pump into the regional economy...
