...YORK: It probably won't be a Black Monday, but after Wall Street's market movers get through stewing in their juices this weekend, expect something like charcoal gray. The Consumer Price Index was way up Friday -- the 0.7 percent hike was the biggest since the Gulf War -- and by close of day the Dow had shed 194 points. Now investors have two days to read the papers, look ahead to the Fed's interest-rate confab Tuesday and wonder: Is the best news on inflation behind us?

...Thing" proved that when Broadway has a good cause, it can have a great effect. And it can inspire as it entertains. In the evening's most indelible turn, Debra Monk played a New Yorker crisscrossing the border of reason and madness. She takes comfort in the poet Thomas Gray's line: "laughing wild amidst severest woe."

Well, they're probably like George Bush Jr.--they wouldn't have an abortion themselves, but they don't think the nation is "ready" to ban the practice of abortion. Doesn't sound like a position you could march for. Recently, the first Democratic Governor of California since 1983, Gray Davis, couldn't make up his mind whether illegal immigrants should receive emergency medical care, which a 1994 proposition banned. The proposition was successfully challenged in court, but Davis couldn't simply accept the court's ruling, even though his Republican predecessor had been the one behind...
