...Margaret Reed, Director of the BPHC’s Asthma Prevention and Control Program, said the commission has already devoted significant resources to protect the public health of the residents of Boston, with special attention to vulnerable populations in inner-city communities...
Ford loves customers like Gail Reed. Last April, a few months before 0% financing wiped out profit margins on such standard models as Windstars and Tauruses, Reed, an Atlanta accountant, saw a picture of a pearl-white Thunderbird convertible and fell in love.

...competition doesn't hurt Euro Disney, timing might - again. As in the early '90s, "the economic outlook for Europe is pretty unclear," says BNP Paribas' Reed. "They're adding something like 50% extra capacity when we've seen both slowing in European economies and several other parks open."
