Daughter of immigrants from Palermo, Costanza began her career as a switchboard operator. Over 24 years, she rose to executive assistant to a Rochester entrepreneur, and carried out a parallel career in city and state politics. For Vice Mayor Midge (she uses her formal name, Margaret, only on voting machines), politics led to an acquaintanceship with Carter-and, ultimately, her present job. Never married, Costanza lives alone in a Foggy Bottom condominium and devotes virtually all of her waking hours to the job. (The man in her life died last year...
...consider it to be less a game than a pinnacle-perhaps the last remaining one-of genteel civilization. In the past few weeks, most of them were reacting as if a hairy Visigoth had strolled onto one of the sport's immaculately manicured pitches. Reason: an upstart Australian entrepreneur had signed up 51 of the world's best players, and was threatening to turn the hallowed institution into-gad, Sir!-another vulgar spectator sport.

...anti-tire forces on a hunch: "I figured anything worth 10 a pound in 1941 sooner or later would be worth 100 a pound." Heidelberger was wrong. Much to his own-and his neighbors'-surprise, the tires have turned out to be worth much more. An Oklahoma salvage entrepreneur plans to erect a huge shredder at Heidelberger's place; he aims to process the tires to extract oil, added as a rubber-softening agent during manufacture, and steel belting, and to make an oatmeal-like material that can be mixed with hard coal to provide smooth-burning fuel...
