...incident, naming Cohen as the source of the leak. MARLENE JOHNSON ARRESTS DISCLOSED BY WHITNEY ALLY, declared the front-page headline in the Star Tribune. Columnist Jim Klobuchar, a friend of Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Rudy Perpich, then decried Cohen as a "sleazy" player. Cartoonist Steve Sack drew Cohen trick- or-treating at Perpich headquarters dressed as a trash can labeled "Last minute campaign smears...
...very early on in the skywalk boom, weather was superseded by boosterism economics: elevated bridges came to be seen as prods for real estate development, quick fixes for tapped-out downtowns. Here and there they seemed to do the trick. The growth of the publicly owned Des Moines Skywalk System, which began in 1982, has indeed coincided with an economic revival of the city's downtown. Skywalks are not cheap: construction can run as much as $3,000 per linear foot. But developers can charge 5% to 10% rent premiums to tenants in towers plugged into the systems...
...down on that computational burden, future simulators will use a trick borrowed from the eye itself. Rather than create the entire 360 degrees horizon, they will concentrate their imaging resources on the narrow cone where the pilot is looking at a given moment. Link's new ESPRIT (eye-slaved projected raster inset) system uses an infrared scanner mounted in the pilot's helmet to track his eye movements. Then it projects a detailed, high- resolution picture in the pilot's direct line of sight and a fuzzier, less detailed peripheral image...

He can be moved by the plight of others; he can faint at the bloody reality of pain, be disarmed at the sight of real Athenians, waver when his friend misleads him about a campaign trick. But he does radiate to voters his own sense of being chosen. Sam Beer, Harvard's famous professor of government, who taught Dukakis at Swarthmore, says, "He was born to rule." He was always the Inevitable Michael. Things fall into place for him as by plan; he does not have...
...collects only if he wins. In that event, he typically garners a third of the final award, which can run into the millions. He claims to win 95% of his cases, a figure that is all the more impressive in view of his reputation for taking "impossible" cases. His trick is to combine meticulous research with show-biz instincts. In the 1940s he sued the concessionaire in a New York stadium on behalf of a man hit by a soda bottle thrown from the stands. The vendor argued that nothing could have been done to prevent the injury. Throughout...
