...you’re interested in reenacting your favorite scene from “Seabiscuit” by going along at a nice clip down Mass. Ave., you might have to gallop over to the courthouse. Cambridge City ordinance dictates that horses and other “beasts of burden” are required to maintain a reasonable speed on local roads...
GEEKSQUAD.COM Bought by Best Buy in 2002, Geek Squad patrols Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Ariz., Columbus, Ohio, and Washington, and is scheduled to hit 34 other cities by the end of the year.

(Alas, that station now carries ?CBS SM? in less-than-prime...
Front runner John Kerry was caught last week saying his chances of winning the South are slim. "Everyone always makes the mistake of looking South," he told a Dartmouth College crowd, in a clip Karl Rove surely downloaded for future use. "Al Gore proved he could have been President of the United States without winning one Southern state, including his own." But Gore didn't become President. And Kerry didn't mention Edwards' favorite bit of presidential trivia: no Democrat has been elected without winning at least five Southern states. "What I give [Democrats] is a candidate...
