...disaster response team, founded and headed by Briggs, had previously been deployed to lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and to Guam after the December 2002 typhoon...
...Yorkers are, by and large, not scared. For some reason the people of New York seem a lot more confident and a lot less fearful about terrorism than people from Bush’s red states. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas was afraid to simply sleep in Manhattan for the upcoming Republican National Convention in New York this September; instead, he planned to charter a cruise shop docked in the Hudson River for himself and his fellow right-wingers.

...opening nuggets as "Swing for the fences" and "Location, location, location." But the primary educational element is how fan-damn-tastic it is to be Donald Trump.

In The Apprentice (NBC, Wednesdays, 8 p.m. E.T.; premieres Thursday, Jan. 8, 8:30 p.m. E.T.), 16 aspiring businesspeople arrive in Manhattan to compete in teams (men vs. women) for the chance to become Trump's protege at a salary of $250,000. Each week, the teams complete a challenge (from selling lemonade on the street to designing an ad campaign). Trump "fires" one member of the losing team...
