...Hopes are higher because of the current negotiations. But what if they fail? "We're going back to the streets," Daniels insists, sounding more like Jimmy Hoffa than Dr. Mark Craig, the crabby surgeon he played on "St. Elsewhere" in the '80s. "We have strategies to turn on the heat even higher." Some of the union's strategies will target manufacturers of the products its members are paid to tout. "There have been talks about a huge boycott against Procter & Gamble," says Robbins. "I don't think P&G wants celebrities telling America not to buy their products." This week...

He is sitting alone on a couch in the middle of the desert, face hidden under a cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses, teeth like a colonial graveyard, chain-smoking unfiltered Camel 100s in the 98[degrees] heat and talking about the ancient Greeks' concept of public space. When the Internet took his bonfire and turned it into a horde-gathering weeklong event that generated headlines all over the globe, Larry Harvey could have become many things: cult leader, millionaire, party promoter. What he chose was urban planner. We all dream...
