...doing badly, says Gephardt campaign manager Steve Murphy, "he always had great favorability ratings. They were always better than Dean's. He just never really connected until the end. He shed some aloofness, and he started answering questions, and he started to listen. He just got better." His height and bearing and senatorial stature make it easy to imagine him wearing White House cufflinks on his Turnbull & Asser shirts. And in the end he was a safe haven for spooked Dean voters who had had a near-death experience. "It was a process of elimination," says a rival campaign manager...
...inspiration this week, Vinatieri conjures up Hoosiers, the 1986 sports classic where the coach of a small high school basketball team, played by Gene Hackman, pulls out a tape measure before the state championship game and shows his players that the basket?s height is the same in both the spacious arena and the barnyard gym. ?The goalposts are still 18-feet wide,? says Vinatieri, smiling. ?Once we move the ball past the 50-yard line, I?ll just step over to the side and start booting a couple of balls into the net.

...return, residents promised not to seek a City Council moratorium on Harvard’s northward expansion. For the University, this is quite a relief. Harvard emerged this fall from a three-year fight with Riverside neighborhood activists, who petitioned the council to set stringent height limits on University buildings in the area.

After the Tour Montparnasse went up, mayor Jacques Chirac and his conservative successor Jean Tiberi figured they had rightly read the public will by keeping a strict limit on building heights. As Blet and other opponents of towers point out, the height restrictions haven't cut Paris off entirely from architectural innovation: consider Jean Nouvel's glass-walled Institut du Monde Arabe (1988) along the Seine and I.M. Pei's pyramid at the Louvre (1989). "Nothing is stopping them from making...
...initial market listings peaked in 2000, IPO madness in Europe abated before almost disappearing completely in 2003. But talk to any banker now and you'll hear that 2004 is the year of the IPO comeback. European IPOs fetched a meager €5.6 billion in 2003, well below the height of 398 billion in 2000, according to Dealogic, which tracks transactions. Bankers say European IPOs this year could easily total €30 billion. The biggest deals expected: Belgacom, worth some €4 billion, and the €2.5 billion listing of Deutsche Post's Postbank. What's driving the resurgence...
