...streets of South Boston last week for the first time in a year. Passing by broken beer bottles, I remembered the last time I swung under that bridge, cycling through the shattered remains of somebody’s Corona Extra. At the time I was concerned about a flat tire, which came about soon enough, but the discarded Corona confronted me with a problem larger than the glass shards my tires repelled...
...Harvard listeners, but maybe publicity in a popular student weekly would at least get more readers to check it out. Yes, its programming is varied and can border on the strange, but at least give the readers a chance to make their own judgments.

Bazo Wheels, in City of Industry, Calif., admits that the 28-in. wheel...
...cars and appliances, producing it for about $348 a ton shipped--about 25% cheaper than French and Japanese steel. In the last six months of 2002, steelworkers at LTV collected average bonuses equal to seven weeks' pay. Now Ross is looking at union rules and wages in the tire and auto industries--both, in his view, due for a similar reckoning...
