Though he may seem like a political neophyte, Forbes actually got his start early, when he and his Bedminster, New Jersey, neighbor Christie Todd (now the Governor of his home state) were chosen to present dolls to Pat Nixon for Tricia and Julie during the 1952 campaign. He used to hold mock elections for his stuffed animals, and could rattle off by heart the state voting patterns county by county...
...storm evoked the classic range of human behaviors, from slick to tragic to elevated. Entrepreneurs in Reston, Virginia, asked $125 to shovel driveways. In Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, a 60-year old shoved his 70-year-old neighbor for accusing him of dumping snow on his car, and the man fell and died. In New York, notwithstanding its recent rosy crime statistics, two men with a 9-mm pistol reportedly relieved Bronx building superintendent Robert DeJesus of his snowblower. But other city dwellers deferred elaborately to one another on narrow-shoveled walks. In Washington, Abby Stone and her two daughters made...

Awilda had reportedly come to believe that Elisa, whom she called a mongoloid and filthy little whore, had been put under a spell by her father--a spell that had to be beaten out of the child. Neighbors, some of whom say they called the authorities, later told...
...next morning Awilda called Francisco Santana, a downstairs neighbor. "She was crying, 'I can't believe it, tell me it's not true,'" he says. When he arrived at her apartment, she showed him Elisa's motionless body. He put his hand to the child's cold forehead, pronounced her dead and spent the next two hours pleading with Awilda to call the police. When he finally called himself, he says, she ran to the apartment roof and had to be restrained from jumping. When the police arrived, she confessed to killing Elisa by throwing her against a concrete wall...
