...crowd of about 50 gathered Tuesday night at the Brecht Forum in Manhattan to watch the scene from “The Other Story of King Kong,” a performance hosted by United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS), a five-year-old student activist group of which Harvard’s Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM) is a founding member...
...move comes at the end of a week of bad news for MCI. First came word that the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan was probing the company's creative routing of calls to minimize access fees it had to pay to local carriers.

Prince, a self-described workaholic, lives in Manhattan, has a weekend home on Nantucket, Mass., and keeps a boat at Stamford, Conn.

Their quills are superfast HP workstations in the center of an industrial-chic penthouse in Manhattan's trendy Tribeca neighborhood. Their manuscripts are digital scans of the body, illuminated into images so startlingly vivid that even scientists stop and stare. And the abbot here is an artist--self-taught in math, physics and business--named Alexander Tsiaras. Blurring the lines between science and art, the company's work resists easy categorization. "It's Fantastic Voyage meets the TIME-LIFE Books series," says Tsiaras...
