...England Whalers, the arena was also the site of other sporting events, concerts and conventions. As a result of the roofs collapse, more than 300 scheduled events will have to be canceled; in the 1½ to two years that may be needed to rebuild the structure, the local chamber of commerce estimates that business losses could approach $20 million. As Hartford began an investigation into the collapse, City Manager James Daken pledged: "We'll build a new structure, a new coliseum. It will be bigger and better-and it will have a different kind of roof...
Even more slippery than Michigan's horse thieves, surely, are the Los Angeles truck drivers who swipe 55-gal. drums of used grease-about $25,000 worth each week-from local restaurants and drive-ins. The goo, worth $40 per bbl., is valuable because it is reprocessed into a food additive that causes cattle and poultry to gain weight.

Directors depend on their ability to re-create what has happened as an image in their brain.
