...FALLING FROM THE NEW YORK sky, but New York City police captain Thomas Lawrence looks as if he's been out in the sun too long. It's just past 7 on the third morning of the new year, and Lawrence, who runs the 10th Precinct in Midtown Manhattan, is standing on a podium in the command control center at police headquarters--the "war room."

He picks up a notebook and draws a big circle labeled politics intersected by satellites of books, Hollywood, media and music. "Instead of writing about the highest-grossing film, we'll write about the best campaign ad." Kennedy, who has a habit of referring to himself as "sort of'' an editor, laughs...
TIME Magazine reports that acting on a tip from the Japanese government, the U.S. prepared to raid the cult's midtown Manhattan office in March, before the Tokyo subway attack. An Air Force C-141 transport plane loaded with federal agents took off from Andrews Air Force base, but the raid was stopped when a federal judge would not issue a search warrant. The Associated Press reported today that the receptionist at the office said there was nothing there to interest federal agents. "We have nothing chemical here. Even the cockroaches...
