...famous mayor in the world, Rudy Giuliani, in the wake of 9/11 and a bearish stock market, no less. Bloomberg has brought an unprecedented level of efficiency and transparency to New York City government. "The best thing is, he doesn't seem to be making decisions based on a four-year calendar," says Jonathan Bowles, research director at the Center for an Urban Future...
...first time in their four-year campaign, the contras claim that they are strong enough to pose a credible threat to the Sandinista government.

But as I drove to school that day, I remained unwilling to finalize a four-year future in Cambridge. My mind played out and dissected my options so many times that when I finally pulled into a parking spot, I immediately decided to turn around and drive back home to cry to my parents. Why was I crying? I had four of the world?...
