Before the election, Republican Governor Mike Foster (who was supporting Cooksey) railed at Terrell for engaging in "class warfare" because of a negative ad she ran around the clock for weeks that claimed Landrieu had lost touch with Louisiana values because she lives in a million-dollar mansion in Washington. Landrieu's row house next to a dry cleaner on a major thoroughfare might be worth a million--Washington real estate is absurd--but it's surely not worth more than Terrell's residence in a gated community in the Garden District of New Orleans...

And the show is peddling CDs, T shirts and geegaws galore. At Bloomingdale's, in its 59th Street store and other...
...sensors. These robots looked cool and cost a lot but on a practical level accomplished almost nothing. "You go into robotics thinking you're going to change the world," says Angle, who looks like a younger, nerdier Quaid brother. "You're not going to change the world with a million-dollar robot."
