Like many New Yorkers tired of winter, Cristos Potamitis, 25, a former security guard for the Bronx-based Sentry Armored Car Courier Co., went to Puerto Rico late last month for a vacation. What he got instead was a surprise. While sunning himself by the pool at the Holiday Inn in San Juan last week, he was arrested by FBI agents for allegedly stealing $11 million-widely regarded as the largest cash heist in U.S. history-from his former employer. Potamitis, who was on duty at Sentry on Dec. 12, 1982, the night of the robbery, claimed he had been...
...Nelligan seemingly has none. Her performance is so unique, mesmerizing and shattering at the same time, that it is hard to imagine anyone else in the role.

The takeover was in sharp contrast to Murdoch's last attempt at acquisition: unable to get big enough union concessions at the failing Buffalo Courier-Express, he withdrew his bid, and the paper died last September...
...newspaper editors are more aware of that problem than the Courier-Journal's managing editor, David Hawpe. On behalf of the Associated Press Managing Editors, he helped direct the first major poll of the attitudes of minority journalists in the U.S. Among the findings of the new study: some 92% of all respondents, and 100% of blacks, believed that race had played a role in their being hired; 75% of those surveyed felt that they did not have the same chances for promotion as white colleagues; 51 % said their editors "believe that minority journalists, as a group, are less...
