...security and sap consumer confidence. It could, well, kill me. On the bright side, though, I've got a better health plan than the President. Dr. Greenspan has an interest-rate antidote for every bug I catch. He gave me a quarter-point injection last week, and I expect two more by spring. They're painful but usually effective...

Unlike its Hollywood counterpart, which has only 82 members, many of them freelancers, the New York press group has 474 accredited journalists from 60 countries. And don't expect the Icons to get the kind of schmooze reputation that the Globes have received over the years. The New York scribes intend to keep it on the straight and narrow. In fact, profits from the show's broadcast, which is likely to be on a cable station before moving...
