...perhaps because of current economic woes, are not quite so extravagant. Sakowitz's biggie is a personal home health care center that includes his-and-her locker rooms, whirlpool, steamroom, indoor track and gym, an exercise room, a First Aid room, and a health food bar. You provide the land, and Sakowitz will build the complex for $1.6 million...
...Terwilliger School used to lie across the street from pasture land. Times change. Now grazing cows have been replaced by a Burger King. Mrs. Shaak's Life and Death classroom at first looks like just another concrete-and-glass modular unit of 1970s education.

...first four days of the crisis, ABC had "the only American network correspondent on scene in Tehran," as its promotional ads correctly boasted. The network managed to land Bob Dyk, a relatively unknown London-based radio reporter, in the capital as soon as the crisis broke. Fearing their employees would be in danger, CBS and NBC hesitated. They soon realized their mistake, but over the next few days five crews from CBS and three from NBC were turned away at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport. A producer in Iran estimated that each futile entry attempt cost...
