...Ambitious junior managers, mindful of the old adage ``Out of sight, out of mind,'' resist spending too much time away from headquarters. For employees whose social life revolves largely around their co-workers, the transition can also be wrenching. Some complain that their creativity, stimulated in part by informal corridor chatting or lunches with fellow employees, has been dampened. Even at Chiat/Day the metamorphosis has not been easy. ``A lot of people left,'' admits Tony Stern, the firm's creative director. `` `It isn't what I want,' they said. `It's too hard...
...legal or ethical significance.'' Clinger challenged this explanation: ``I think it is fair to ask how one receives a partnership distribution from a business entity unless one is a partner in it.''

Overall, 530 stations won't see the Amtrak's silver trains, officials said. Amtrak has always depended heavily on federal subsidies -- $952 million this year...
...Little Brother's family. What followed was an urban social services nightmare even people like Bob Coles would find difficult to narrate. I will never forget my Little Brother's small, trembling body as he lost himself in the temporary safety of my embrace in the cold, dark corridor of his apartment building that awful day. As I walked back to Quincy House, by way of Harvard street, I paused between snowflakes, tears frozen to my cheeks, enraged that I couldn't save him from the frightening uncertainty of that moment. In the months that followed, during which I spend...
