...early-'90s Hong Kong rock bands N.T., Mai Tai, Screw and Anodize. They started jamming 10 years ago, and in 1999 put together a rap album with live guitars and drums. To do so, they turned bass player Jimmy's apartment -- which had earlier doubled as the Anodize band HQ -- into a recording studio that has since produced four LMF albums, plus solo albums by band members DJ Tommy, who spins and scratches hip-hop beats onstage, and guitarist and producer Davy Chan. The band's songs are collaborations, but Davy and DJ Tommy -- who both have more than...
...cell members built up a small local support network to collect information, rent houses, buy equipment for the "sleeper" operatives while they waited to be activated. As happened with the East Africa embassy bombings, agents think only a few superior handlers--a Commander X or two--sent perhaps by HQ at the penultimate moment, knew how the final pieces were meant to fit together.

When reports that a plane or planes might be headed towards Washington, the FAA HQ on Independence Avenue was evacuated...

The first police officer you come to will inspect your passport and card and hand it to his boss. This is where your "permission to leave" slip from police HQ comes in. Hand it over. Passport stamped. 9) Final check. But wait! The first policeman forgot to stamp your boarding pass. Back to police check again and then back to final check. 10) Congratulations. You made...
...stock was trading at a mere eight cents, or 99% off its November 1999 peak. Since the NASDAQ habitually delists stocks that slip below a dollar, there seemed little chance this e-tailer would stay in the big boys' league. Then some bright (or desperate) spark at company HQ in Foster City came up with the idea of a 25 to 1 reverse stock split. In other words, for every 25 shares you owned before the split, you'd now only own one. The resulting drought should leave Webvan standing $2 tall. Above water, but at what cost...
