...corner of Sixth and Locust is probably the tensest spot in downtown Des Moines. And the frostiness has little to do with the subfreezing Midwestern winter and everything to do with presidential politics. For housed alongside each other on the bottom floor of a 73-year-old office building at 405 Sixth Avenue - and sharing the bathrooms in the basement- are the Iowa headquarters of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Texas Congressman Ron Paul...
Then again, there are times when they can't help but run into each other. Just about everyone from both offices eats lunch at Coney Island, a second-floor diner known for its pork loin. And there's the men's room, of course. A Paul volunteer recently ran into Huckabee himself there, and found him to be cordial. But there is some quiet grumbling from Huckabee's team about Paul's people using up all the paper towels. When told about the dispute, a top strategist for a rival G.O.P. campaign said of the scruffy Paul forces: "They probably...
...break, Harvard stepped up its defense coming out of the break. Switching between man-to-man and zone, the Crimson limited the Huskies to just six points in the first seven and a half minutes of the second frame.Overall, the hosts shot just 42.3 percent from the floor in the second half, compared to the 51.7 percent they shot in the first, and athletic forward Manny Adako—the game’s high-scorer with 19 points—had just six points after the break.“We mixed it up a little...

The idea that there would suddenly be a "patchwork" of state CO2 regulations seems unlikely as well, since only California has put forward its own standards, with 16 other states ready to adopt Sacramento's rules, in line with California's role as a national leader on environmental regulation. And several recent court cases have recognized...
...taxi along the riverside. "It's like a ghost town," he says. "The whole economy is down: hotels, restaurants, everything." The waterfront DaimlerChrysler Canada headquarters opened to much fanfare there in 2002, when the city's auto-manufacturing industry was red-hot. Today, the building's cavernous ground-floor retail space is almost empty. As the rising dollar made Canadian products more expensive around the world, Canada shed nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs in 12 months. "We went from [being] the lowest-cost producer of vehicles around the world for GM, Ford and Chrysler to probably one of the highest...
