...market remains more hotly contested than the one for sport-utility vehicles, which account for 18% of all U.S. car and truck sales. Chrysler has spent more than $2.65 billion to expand the interior and improve the ride of its new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will cost about $250 less than the 1998 model because features like the CD player will no longer be extra. Chrysler hopes to overtake the Ford Explorer as the market leader. But moving up will be tough in the increasingly crowded SUV category. Newcomers include the Lexus RX300, which competes with the Cherokee on price...

Sunlight reaches nearly every room, and in addition to the lighting in classrooms and offices, lights along interior hallways even illuminate the ceiling. The study carrels on the fifth floor receive light from the skylights and are a welcome alternative to Lamont. Even the basement is warm and bright...
Somerville Theater seemed like a rather unusual place for Williams to perform--the theater's interior is scattered with an odd array of gilded Corinthian columns painted black and silver reminiscent of severe Ayn Rand lightning bolts. The rest of the theater had an almost sickingly disproportionate amount of mauve. A mostly middle-aged crowd, situated comfortably in plush seats, waited anxiously for Williams arrival...
