...goop last year for the first time. In the 2004 litter audit, 2,000 pieces of gum dotted one typical stretch of sidewalk, compared with just 200 pieces of other litter. In response, the city is trying out trash cans that let users toss in gum without having to touch the dirty bin. A downtown business district now spends about $37,000 annually to power-wash gum off its sidewalks, and on April 22, the city will be the host of a "20 Minute Makeover" featuring a public gum-removal demonstration...

He told them to bring in pictures of themselves as kids, and he put them up in the rehearsal hall. "I could see who these people were at 11, 10 and 12," says Lapine. "It was so revealing. In an ineffable way, it helped the process." Finn once described the show as a "Survivor for nerds," but he means that in only the nicest way. "I know these people," he says.
