...hopefuls in the district include a state senator, a county supervisor, a former naval officer, three businessmen and a biology teacher. On a recent Saturday night, they faced questions from their would-be bosses. Who posed the gravest threat to America's national security? "The present Administration," said Jim McKelvey, a Franklin County real estate developer who ponied up $500,000 to jump-start his campaign. (Another candidate, Laurence Verga, suggested "the people that voted the current Administration in.")

...ANDREW MCKELVEY The FORTUNE 1000, the companies with at least 2,500 employees, by and large have stopped doing business with the newspapers. That's about a third of their total help-wanted classifieds right there. The newspapers were slow in responding. The Sunday Boston Globe in 2000 had around 100 pages of help-wanted classifieds. Now they have fewer than 25. What happened? IBM tends not to run full-page ads anymore. They spend their money online instead. That's typical...
