...Pforzheimer House, trained asbestos handlers were called in over the summer to facilitate the replacement of worn-out equipment in these boiler rooms. Ketelhohn said the summer renovation will not completely eliminate asbestos from the Quad Houses under his jurisdiction, but he said he thinks it will bring the Houses close to that final goal...
...highly publicized report critiquing the administration of New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for its failure to support its environmental police. Gatto was effectively demoted when another officer was placed above him in charge of environmental enforcement. DEP officials reassigned Gatto's car, replacing it with a worn-out wreck with 156,000 miles on it and no working two-way radio. (He's since been given a newer model.) Meanwhile, the city started an investigation against Gatto's senior detective, Chris Clinch, for allegedly mishandling a police parking placard and placing household garbage in a DEP Dumpster. A judge...

A revamped Santa's Workshop is riotously colorful. Santa couldn't ask for an escort with more dash than the Rockette reindeer team that prances at the head of his sleigh, and audiences couldn't hope for a more splendiferous Christmas present...
Between the worn-out trailers and the HUD homes on the St. Regis Mohawk reservation sits an incongruous stretch of newly built mansions. From his patrol car, Wesley Benedict, the tribal police chief, points out a red brick palazzo and a white gabled mansion. "Most of those are built with smuggling money," he says. Around the world, word has spread that if you want to come to the U.S., the easiest point of entry is this barren reservation that cuts across both sides of the New York-Canada border...
