...world of figure skating, few are more accomplished-or more mutually competitive-than Scott Hamilton and David Santee. But in that most icily competitive of sports, Santee and Hamilton have usually looked on while others received the medals. Santee, 23, finished fourth in last year's Winter Olympics; Hamilton, 22, placed fifth. And so it has been since the two began competing in the mid-'70s. But all three of last year's Olympic medal winners retired after Lake Placid, and suddenly the old rivalry between Hamilton and Santee took on new drama: they could...

Next to the hors d'oeuvres and cocktails are reprints of an August, 1980, New York Times Magazine article: "Inside Exxon: Managing an $85 Billion-a-Year Empire." The men are a sea of blue and gray pinstripes; the women wrapped in tastefully muted tailored skirts and jackets with...
...Congress and the states, but it also promised that whenever two-thirds of the state legislatures wanted to summon a new convention, they could rewrite the whole Constitution. Thomas Jefferson thought some such revision was needed once in every generation. "Alterations may at any time be effected ..." added Alexander Hamilton in the 85th and last of the commentaries and cajolings that make up The Federalist. "The will of the requisite number would at once bring the matter to a decisive issue...
