...likely to be caught in the middle of a convenience-store stickup as in a bank heist, bank crime is a big image problem for both cities and banks. Memphis, Tennessee, where bank robberies doubled last year, has set up a task force to fight the trend. In Orlando, banks have banded together to share security costs and put up a $90,000 reward. And banks everywhere are rethinking design and location factors that make branches not only consumer friendly but robber friendly as well, such as their being scattered along freeways away from downtown. They are also upgrading...
...Texas is not alone. In Durham, North Carolina, 10 banks were robbed in January and February, compared with 14 all last year. In 18 counties in central Florida, robberies are already up 61%. Since January, there have been rashes of robberies in Houston, Atlanta, Detroit and Orlando, Florida. And this comes on top of big jumps last year: Colorado, up 65%; Arizona, up 68%; Virginia, three times the level of 1994. Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, which had not had a bank robbery for almost two years, has suffered four in the past four months...
...Nets (or the New Jersey Mavericks--New Jersey and Dallas virtually swapped rosters earlier this year) is that attendance is actually up this year, from 15,564 a game to 16,017 in the 20,000-odd seat Continental Airlines Arena. The New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers all said their clubs don't use fake crowd noise.

"We have rules about when...
...versatile actors that even the minor roles shine. Nora Zimmett '00 gives a powerful and richly textured performance as Rosalind, the heroine around whom the rest of the play revolves. It's a tremendous responsibility which she handles with grace, strength and wit. Ryan McKittrick, as her romantic counterpart Orlando, gives his character all the charming hot-headedness and lovelorn sincerity required by the role, and the chemistry between him and Zimmett is appropriately erotic. And Samara Levenstein gives a notable performance as the alternately sweet and sharp-edged Celia, Rosalind's cousin and companion throughout the play...
...Renaissance clown with an ease, energy and good humor that's little short of astonishing. In the great Shakespearean tradition, Erik Amblad '98 dashes in and out of three different roles and is scenestealingly hilarious in the tiny part of the bumpkin rustic, Corin. Chuck O'Toole '97 plays Orlando's usurping elder brother Oliver as a marvelously villainous fop in the first act, although his performance wavers toward the end of the play with his character's transformation into a repentant lover. And Scott Brown '98 and Lucia Brawley '99 are delightful in their interpretations of the hapless shepherd...
