...though she actually lives in the state she wants to represent, the mayor struts across the most famous stage in the world, starring in one campaign-ready event after another, with a stash of enviable props--search-and-rescue boats, choppers, fire engines and several championship sports teams to cheer for, including the Yankees, whose pinstripes he wore as a kid in Brooklyn. He can even light the lights on Broadway. On Wednesday he quashed his police chief's recommendation that the theaters go dark on Millennium Eve. HIZZONER SEZ: THE SHOW MUST...

Europeans, who cheer for female runners and skiers, have disparaged the women's game of football as a dainty imitation of the real thing. But with attitudes changing, and with the Yanks kicking their derrieres, soccer federations in Germany, Denmark and elsewhere have begun pouring money into their women's programs.
