Consumers rarely adopt new technology until they're sure of its benefits. Luckily for the industry, digital radio's pluses are easily explained: clearer sound and more choice. Digitalization transforms sound into the binary codes of 1s and 0s, which can be transmitted as audio waves free from interference. The result is a CD-like broadcast unmarred by the hiss, static and drift that bedevil analog stations. And because digital uses little bandwidth, it allows for the transmission of many more channels. Niche stations already available in Britain range from all-film music to classic rock to One Word...
...accident. The second chopper was downed by separatists? automatic weapons, and caught fire when it landed. All 15 people aboard survived.

Some studies state that rent should never require more than 30 percent of income, and that the cheapest 40 percent of housing will always be inadequate for families’ essential needs. Others assume that it is enough for workers...
Things began to get a little clearer a couple of weeks later, when anthrax-laced letters were discovered at NBC, the New York Post and Senator Tom Daschle's office in Washington. This time, alerted by the Florida case, investigators managed to get their hands on the source: three letters (and ultimately a fourth, addressed to Senator Patrick Leahy) with similar messages and handwriting, all of which had traveled through a major mail-sorting facility in suburban Hamilton Township, N.J. Despite what the experts had so confidently asserted, you could clearly mount an anthrax attack through the mail...
...stronger economy. When the streets are clearer and curbs are easier to get to in a delivery van, New York's businesses will run better. When the sidewalks feel wider, the air is cleaner, and walking in the city is pleasant in any neighborhood, New York's real lifeblood - its shoppers - will spend more time looking in windows, stopping for coffee, picking up something on sale. Everybody wins...
