...diverse as Middle Eastern Islamic fundamentalism and midwestern right-wing conspiracy theories - converging to spread bloody mayhem at ground zero of America's millennium celebration. It's a truly scary scenario, in which acolytes of monsters as different as Timothy McVeigh and Osama Bin Laden engage in a kind of terrorism Olympics with innocent New Yorkers as their cannon fodder. But it's a scenario for which federal and city officials are well prepared, and for which they're deploying legions of FBI personnel and police to head...

As the drugstore industry has consolidated into a few dominant national chains, Martin Grass (son of Rite Aid founder Alex Grass) nearly doubled the number of outlets, buying independents and refashioning smaller locations into 10,000-sq.-ft. convenience stores. That kind of real estate doesn't come cheap. In 1996, Grass shelled out $1.4 billion for a thousand Thrifty PayLess drugstores on the West Coast. Then a year ago, he spent $1.5 billion on PCS Health Systems, a pharmacy-benefit manager that oversees employees' prescription coverage. Even Miller, whose retailing career began...
