...goes over a hill, when, for a moment, inertia overcomes gravity. Is it possible the tragic accident in Paris involved the same principle? If the speeding Mercedes became airborne, a slight turn of the steering wheel, which should have been sufficient to negotiate a curve on the roadway, would have been ineffective. Perhaps the accident had more to do with physics than with alcohol. MERRICK LOCKWOOD Dhaka...
...confirm officially either claim, and auto experts say the postcrash position of a speedometer needle is an unreliable indicator of a car's final velocity. Partly on the basis of the condition of the car at impact, police speculate that the Mercedes arrived at the tunnel entrance--where the roadway bends and dips sharply to the left--at between 80 and 100 m.p.h. The car appears to have first scraped the right side of the tunnel, then rocketed left into one of the concrete support posts about 100 ft. inside the tunnel.

But they can almost hear the bulldozer creeping closer, with bids on the roadway project due this week, and it isn't just Steve Wynn who's behind the wheel.

If you build it, suckers will come. As will thousands of jobs, millions of dollars...
...fact, Wynn would pay $55 million of the projected $330 million cost of the 1.8-mile roadway. Wynn spokesman Alan Feldman, who shamelessly wonders if the holdout residents are trying to bluff more money out of Mirage, says the project will provide road improvements that were planned years ago and will make the neighborhood a better place. Mayor Whelan insists that other roadway routes would have displaced even more homeowners. He's sorry about Bryant Drive, but if Atlantic City doesn't take this next step--"Not just another casino, but an 'Oh, wow!' destination resort"--it will...
