...Still, property developers feeling the pain would do well to take the long view. "We've seen falls of this scale many times before," says Davidson, recalling "big crashes in [City] rents in the early '90s and around the turn of this decade." Further proof of property's fast-changing fortunes: when the Wall Street crash wiped out demand for space in a newly built Empire State Building in the '30s, locals dubbed the iconic skyscraper the "Empty State Building." London developers can be forgiven for aiming high...
...Secretary Mike Leavitt, who sought comments on a proposed regulation to refuse federal funds to any hospital or clinic that didn't respect the "conscience" of its workers. This refers to doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others who refuse to perform abortions or prescribe drugs like Plan B, which they view as equivalent to abortion.

Instead they will concentrate on the official classics, especially Annie Hall and Manhattan, and on Allen's amazingly predictable productivity: since the mid-70s he has averaged a film a year as writer-director...
...early, funny films. But, like Annie Hall and Manhattan, it is about people whose jobs are incidental to their real vocations of falling in love and messing things up. With seven major characters, five of whom have affairs during one Spanish summer, VCB is a God's-eye view of the thesis that "only unfulfilled love can be romantic...
