...slapped 44 people with criminal charges. The allegations read like a movie script: assemblymen and mayors took bribes in diners and parking lots; rabbis laundered millions through Jewish charities; a man tried to sell a kidney to an FBI informant. The fallout has been equally cinematic: the mayor of Secaucus resigned July 28, and the same day, another accused official was found dead in suspicious circumstances...
...faces of the channel. The network was planning to eventually move into a shiny new office tower in New York City's Harlem neighborhood, but construction never started because of the credit markets' collapse. Instead, the baseball channel will operate out of MSNBC's old studio in Secaucus, N.J., which was supposed to be a temporary home until the Harlem building was finished. The space features a 9,600-sq.-ft. replica baseball field, replete with dugouts, outfield seats and a 25-ft. scoreboard modeled after the one at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Around the pricey platter, lower-cost merchandise has sold briskly, and Scott is seeing evidence that Wal-Mart's attempt to move up the fashion/design/price ladder still has a way to go. It's not clear whether shoppers simply won't buy higher-priced stuff at Wal-Mart or, as happened in apparel...
...January, two weeks before the first XFL game will be played, and the New York/New Jersey Hitmen already have fans. Rabid fans. Fans who scream "those wusses!" in a bar in Secaucus, N.J., when general manager Drew Pearson announces that the Hitmen beat the Chicago Enforcers in a scrimmage. Pearson, the former Dallas Cowboys great, is at Bazooka's--which is like a Hooters without all the pretension--surrounded by cheerleaders in black leather pantsuits with cutouts just below their belly buttons.
