...Alexander, as skilled and slick a pol as ever pretended not to be one, the week finally gave him his spotlight. He woke up Tuesday morning with all sorts of advantages: he was still an unknown, so his negative ratings were low in a field where everyone else's were rising. He was so cash strapped he could barely afford negative ads, which allowed him to take credit for not running any. The morning after Iowa he spent on a conference call with more than 200 rainmakers, winning their promise to raise at least $5,000 each by week...

The insurance bill, which seeks to reform allegedly unfair industry practices, boasted an almost evenly bipartisan list of 44 co-sponsors...
...verses of the Bible, so powerful and rich in their original context as inspired writings, have been made into musical soap operas. While it seems that Chirkov is an accomplished director in his own country--a 40-year-veteran of stage and film in Ukraine, he is almost unknown in the Western Hemisphere--he lacks a sense of the sacred in his play-writing. The story of Genesis and the events following it are given superficial treatment, and nothing more. At times, especially when dealing with such powerful material, imagination and novelty are not the only attributes needed...
Although the cause of the fire is still unknown, Cambridge Deputy Fire Chief Jerry Rearden said it was most likely an accident, probably related to a plumbing problem on the first floor...
