...FALLING FROM THE NEW YORK sky, but New York City police captain Thomas Lawrence looks as if he's been out in the sun too long. It's just past 7 on the third morning of the new year, and Lawrence, who runs the 10th Precinct in Midtown Manhattan, is standing on a podium in the command control center at police headquarters--the "war room." His face is bright red and a little clammy. His body is wired up tight. He is surrounded by sheaves of statistics, screens filled with computerized maps and charts and N.Y.P.D. bosses, who, amazingly, seem...
...PAID ANNE SCHEIBER MUCH mind when she was alive. If anyone at all noticed her outside her Manhattan studio apartment, the frugal spinster, a mere five feet tall, was always dressed in the same cheap black coat and hat. She never bought a stick of furniture. She rarely bought a newspaper. But she did read one diligently.

...Empire State Building will be bathed in blue light tonight as its part of the national celebration of the 80th birthday of Ol' Blue Eyes,' Frank Sinatra.

The Daily News reports that on arrival, she seemed a fairly happy girl, one who shared make-believe bus trips with other children during lunch hour. But she soon folded up into herself. The school's principal and social worker, noting that she was often bruised and had trouble walking, reported the matter directly to a deputy director of CWA's Manhattan field division, in what would...
...only a simulated fast-food joint, not the real thing. Jupiter and 19 classmates, all of them 55 or older, are the first students in an odd if hopeful training program begun jointly this fall by New York City's Department for the Aging and the Riese Organization, a Manhattan-based company that owns 200 chain-restaurant franchises. Designed to help the elderly rejoin today's service-oriented economy--sometimes after years of unemployment or retirement that has left them with skills applicable only to old-fashioned, well-paying jobs--the center was created with $100,000 donated by Riese...
