...bridges). The separation not only affords Chicagoans the opportunity to demonstrate their pride but also makes a tour of the city reminiscent of a mosaic. Chinese characters spell out street signs against a backdrop of Chinese architecture in Chinatown; two jumbo-size Puerto Rican flags on the North Side lend a festive air to the turf of Logan Square and Humboldt Park; an imposing, pink, concrete arch at the eastern border of Little Village lends an hacienda air to the neighborhood. The often cartoonishly large landmarks allow inhabitants to see a physical embodiment of their pride. The communities can begin...
...only dangerous people who are also deemed mentally ill can be involuntarily committed. That's why Illinois has hired its own big-ticket experts to evaluate Yoder and, presumably, testify against him.

Nearly every song on the album was written by either Morris or Stockman and recorded at the Boyz II Men studio in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. The two Boyz even lend their Grammy-winning vocals to the track I Don't Want to Think About It, giving Koyanagi even greater opportunity to prove her mettle. The World Cup surprised us enough by showing that Japan's got game. Watch out world: now it has soul...
...Taufik was handed a rare no. Freeport had acted as guarantor for the original loan from Chase Manhattan of $315 million, which enabled Hasan to buy the shares. It had also pledged to lend Hasan's company any shortfall on the interest payments not covered by dividend from the stock, a sum that had climbed to some $69 million by late 2001. Freeport withdrew its guarantee and paid off the $253.4 million remaining on the loan. In return the company got back the troublesome 4.7% stake.
