...Land ("Into the Woods"). But it's tough to find either a musical that takes place in the here and now - "Urinetown" is a city of the future that looks like Pittsburgh in the Depression - or one that was written in the last five years: just four, if you count "The Producers," three of whose favorite songs come from a 1968 movie...
...lowered rates for 200,000 debtors. It was the first to voluntarily adopt the "Spitzer principles" imposed on Merrill Lynch, and now requires officers of public companies who get IPO shares through Citi to tell their shareholders about it.

But by 1:30 PM in a conference call with Daschle, Corzine, and McGreevey, Torch came back to his original inclination to withdraw. And so, with a blue felt tip pen on a yellow legal pad, he wrote his farewell speech...
...There was just one problem: New Jersey state law forbids replacing any candidate fewer than 51 days before the election - by mid-week that count was down to 34. So everybody piled into the courthouse Wednesday to make their respective cases; Democrats arguing that they had a right to put a viable candidate on their side of the ballot, and Republicans insisting that "rules are rules" and that voters need to know those rules aren't bent for anyone...
