Adams investigated and found a hibernating bear in a cave. "I'll flush him out in the spring," said Sherm...
...climbing toward completion next year. For a few years, the $95 million John Hancock Center will be the world's second-tallest (1,107 ft.) building, after Manhattan's Empire State Building (102 stories and 1,250 ft.). Last week beneath the street level of Lower Manhattan, workmen were pouring 3-ft.-thick concrete foundations for the future champ, the Port of New York Authority's twin, 110-story World Trade Center towers (1,350 ft. high...
