Outsiders want in; they fill Midtown's hotels and clot its traffic. Secular pilgrims, they trek to the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center (and to its fellow firs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Lincoln Center). They window-shop on Fifth Ave. - a promenade that remains the city's most bustling theatrical experience. And they see a holiday show - for the kids, and for the vestigial child in most adults...
...winning the lawsuit against the federal government? SCHWARZENEGGER: History is in our favor. Out of four lawsuits, we have won four. They have lost all four. It could very well be, and I think this is the direction it's going to go, they're going to lose the fifth one. We want to overturn that.

...Giuliani's steady decline in national polls, meanwhile, is magnified by surveys in the early battleground states. In Iowa, where his campaign is expending minimal effort, Giuliani is running fifth in the latest surveys, behind Fred Thompson and John McCain, along with Romney and Huckabee. In New Hampshire, where he has at times seemed committed to winning, but recently moved ad money out of the state, he is running third, behind Romney and McCain, and just ahead of Ron Paul. Giuliani maintains a tiny lead in Michigan, but even in Florida, where his campaign has been suggesting it could actually...
