...convince voters of the contrary last week. He portrayed the constitution as a basically benign tidying-up exercise that would streamline E.U. procedures to avoid gridlock as it expands to 25 members, without sapping core national prerogatives to set tax rates and foreign and defense policy. But he also forecast dire results if Britain balked, leaving it isolated on Europe's margins, even tempting the rest of the E.U. countries to wash their hands of pesky Albion and go off on their own. He claimed this was exactly what the Tories wanted: to use the vote...
...AM/FM industry doesn't seem too concerned. Arbitron estimates that 228 million Americans ages 12 and up still listen to broadcast radio weekly, and radio remains the top broadcast medium after TV for advertisers who want to reach a mass market. Radio ad sales in Arbitron markets are forecast to rise 5.5% this year, to $14 billion, according to BIA Financial Network, a media consultancy in Chantilly, Va.

Construction of the "Chunnel" took from 1987 to 1994 - a year longer than planned - and costs hit twice the initial forecast. Estimates for passenger and freight business were overly optimistic...
...their work. They'll come up with some ideas and recommendations about how that might have been done. It's hard at this point to see ... There are clearly some things that could have been done to be more effective. Whether or not there was a way to forecast what was going on here and head it off, I just don't know. Obviously, I think everybody feels bad about the loss of life. If you were at the White House that day, as many of us were, you know it's a moment you'll never forget...
