...after a dramatic last-second victory that will long be remembered in Super Bowl lore, the New England Patriots will be treated to a victory parade through downtown Boston. Beginning at Copley Square, the celebratory procession will eventually take them to a rally at City Hall Plaza hosted by Mayor Thomas Menino. Boston sports fans—who haven’t had a professional championship to celebrate since Larry Bird’s Celtics won the NBA title in 1986—will be out in force to cheer a team whose unity, determination and professionalism led their franchise...
...stalwart Republican? Schwarzenegger, who is married to a Kennedy (NBC's Maria Shriver) and may yet run for Governor in 2006, has picked a popular issue.

But his agenda is broader than that. "We are working on cultural change in a big way," says Goldsmith, a sculptor and former activist who developed affordable housing...
...York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg acknowledged the obvious at the opening plenary session of Davos-in-New York on Thursday night; the weather stank. Outside the Waldorf-Astoria, demonstrators and cops shivered in a cold, persistent drizzle; inside, delegates sweltered in the over-heating that seems to tempt every hotel manager. As they negotiated the temperature gradient between Park Avenue and the Waldorf's Peacock Alley, you could also almost see, as well as hear, a thousand snuffles. The mood of attendees was not helped, either, by the never ending line for the hand-held gizmo that enables...
