...entryway residents should be aware that as long as the Dining Hall is open, there would be nothing between them and the street but their own suite doors," Mitchell wrote in the e-mail. "Their sense of 'owning their own security'--while always relevant--should now be heightened...
...passed the 100-billion-burgers mark and somehow missed it. Deciding to focus on the future, he advised the 25,000 franchise owners to switch to the Carl Saganesque "billions and billions." I didn't buy one word of it. So I stopped at my McDonald's on 34th Street in Manhattan, which has a 99 BILLION SERVED sign.

But McCain didn't want to talk much about domestic hot buttons like health care and Social Security, or about his swelling poll numbers, or even about campaign-finance reform. "I want to talk for a moment about Chechnya," he said to a few reporters on his campaign bus, before launching into a critique of Russia's "brutal to the extreme" war and announcing that if he were President...
