...lookout for a round-faced man with bushy hair, a thin mustache and no familiarity with ice skating. He may have tried to abduct TONYA HARDING, apparently unaware of who she is or that one of her husbands did time for plotting to bash someone in the knee. Police are investigating Harding's claim that a man forced her into her truck outside her home, ordered her to drive and slapped her several times. Harding escaped by steering the car into a tree, grabbing the keys and running. "Her injuries are minor," says her publicist, David Hans Schmidt, who used...
...York's streets became notably safer. It was these small arrests for such crimes as aggressive panhandling and minor theft, police believe, that have lowered New York to 63rd in homicides per 100,000 people. One reason: the greater vigilance raises everyone?s awareness that police are on the lookout for lawbreakers.

Bill Zanker, 42, is one of those quirky entrepreneurs always on the lookout for the Next Great Idea.

"I thought, 'What a great idea.'" Browsing the Sharper Image, he found an array of massage-related products that sent his mind spinning. Thought he: "There's got to be a way to bring stress reduction to the masses." Eureka! Zanker opened the first Great American BackRub store...
...turns out, Capt'n Neato-Man ("All the good superhero names were taken") put the ad in the paper to find his sidekick, Horatio. "We put it in the secretarial section to throw off the commies," he confides. His mother is on the lookout for something else altogether, but Larry resists both of them; he's looking for a real job, having been fired from McDonald's ("The epitome of the American Dream!" breathe the Captain and his mother), and he's waiting for his true love to come along...
