...hard to imagine Nushawn Williams, 21, as the sort of young man in possession of a facility with the opposite sex. However, in the desolate housing projects of Brooklyn's Crown Heights section and the depressed pockets of rural Chautauqua County in western New York, the crack dealer collected female admirers with displays of bravado, promises of jewelry, a willingness to steal a coat if a girl found herself too cold. "It don't take much, you know. These girls don't have much," explains Lakeesha Moore, a former New York City neighbor of Williams'. "He had money...
Slick men often leave vulnerable women with broken hearts, but Williams left his many girlfriends in danger of far worse. According to Chautauqua health officials, Williams is the source of a near epidemic of HIV in the county of 141,000 and has caused the greatest public health crisis the area has ever faced. Since learning that he was HIV-positive in September 1996, Williams has had sex with dozens of young women in and around Jamestown, N.Y., and also in New York City, apparently without ever using protection or disclosing his condition...
Penn may have been an expert at interpreting figures, but he was still a novice when it came to reading his candidate.

The main advice to Clinton: Don't let Dole drag you off the presidential pedestal, stay on your sunny message and don't bite your lip. Dole rehearsed in the first-floor ballroom of his condominium building, where the campaign set up a stage bathed in TV lights. Aides sat at a table to the side, using flashlights to signal when time was up. Playing Clinton was former actor and good...
...Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow -- by creating a new town on 3,800 acres at the southern end of his Florida fiefdom. Eisner's vision is a mixture of the predictable ("the biggest mall in Florida"), the high-minded ("I've been obsessed with creating a new chautauqua") and the intriguingly original ("We want to build workplaces, pilot factories"). He has already rejected schemes by Stern and Gwathmey Siegel. A design competition going on among Helmut Jahn, Charles Moore, Aldo Rossi and the firms Arquitectonica, Morphosis and Kohn Pedersen Fox has so far produced accepted designs by Jahn, Moore...
