...more lenient treatment. Much of the city seems willing to forgive the misadventure. New Yorkers were astonished -- and, in a way, flattered -- that anyone could be obsessed with their much maligned subways. Movie-of-the-week packagers are lining up for Keno's signature. Said ex-Mayor Ed Koch: "If I were the judge, I'd explain to him that he did place people in danger. Then I would ask the ((Transit Authority)) to give him an internship." That would be a dream come true for Keno Thomas. But such an ending is up to the lawyers and the courts...

A staff arranger for the Paul Whiteman band, he could pen a delicate gem like the Seven Traceries...
Some saltwater romantics complain that all the emphasis on technology has diminished the role of good old-fashioned seamanship. To which America 3's skipper Koch replies, "Sailing skill is fine, but you can't do something with a boat that won't do it." In the world of America's Cup racing, it seems, you get what...
