...call was made to New York City, but the ambiguity persisted. "We never viewed it as a warning or an alert, like, 'The bridge is going to get hit within the next two days,'" says an FBI official. "It was more like, 'Out of an abundance of caution, we're telling you this.' It was just historical, lower-priority stuff." New York Police Department representatives on the task force passed along the information to their supervisors, who called N.Y.P.D. commissioner Raymond Kelly. He decided to post officers at both the statue and the bridge and make random checks of cars...
...what is really winning Lieberman cheers among dispirited party activists is his new assertiveness in Washington. While other Democrats have been exercising caution in speaking against the policies of a popular President, Lieberman has launched a frontal assault. Last week he called for delaying major portions of the Bush tax cut (prominent Democrats like Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt have criticized the tax cut but stopped short of taking action against it).

Of course, that's what everyone said about AOL and Time Warner, so perhaps some caution is in order...
...industry is greeting these first forays into online services with caution. Doug Morris, chairman of the Universal Music Group, calls Pressplay "an exercise in trying to understand what's going on." There may be plenty of money to be made from selling raw MP3s and unlimited CD-burning privileges. But with major media companies so wedded to the old ways of selling music--nearly 40% of Vivendi's operating income flows from its media business--allowing users to burn from their catalog seems akin to dragging a large wooden horse into their boardroom...
