...officials say they have spent $10 million on helicopters, protective suits and beefed-up border patrols. But other needs, including a communications system that would allow the city's emergency teams to talk with one another and their Canadian counterparts, have been shelved until federal help arrives. Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick says he has pleaded for more money. "It's very frustrating," he says. Smaller cities have fared even worse, with many forced to spend money on basic equipment they expected the feds would pay for. Says Donald L.

For now, cat's got his tongue...
...only was youth served at last week's NBA draft, it was also indulged with fawning deference. For the first time, the No. 1 pick, KWAME BROWN, 19, drafted by the Washington Wizards, was plucked straight from high school. Three of the top four picks were high school seniors, while only four players of 28 drafted in the first round were college seniors. This led to the usual brow furrowing over premature NBA matriculation, but Brown, who has been working out with Wizards president (and potential teammate) Michael Jordan, sees only the benefits. The 6-ft. 11-in. Georgia native...
