...word “garden” as a link to the arena’s long-lost ancestor is half-hearted and feeble. “Garden” doesn’t exactly conjure up images of gracefully flowing industrial lines, unadorned steel exteriors, and distinctly 90s-era architecture. But then again, the words “TD Banknorth” don’t really conjure up anything at all. At least “FleetCenter” sounded streamlined and quick. TD Banknorth draws a blank for pretty much everyone, except for those who know that...
...Steel companies don't usually help spark political revolutions. But then Ukraine's Kryvorizhstal is no ordinary steel firm. With annual production of about 7 million tons, it is by far Ukraine's biggest steelmaker, accounting for 20% of output, and one of the country's most valuable companies.

Known for her candor, graciousness and friends on both sides of the aisle, the Florida conservative, who rallied for the impeachment of Bill Clinton, was often dubbed the "steel magnolia"--a hybrid of Southern belle and drill sergeant. Fowler, who had made a promise to serve no more than four terms, retired in 2001, saying her work was done...
...vivacious blond, Kingsbury, 41, lives in Vancouver, Wash., with her husband Donald and their six children. She says she always wanted to write and once imagined being "the next Danielle Steel." But, wouldn't you know, love intervened. Raised Catholic, Kingsbury became born again in her 20s after she met Donald.
