...news departments pumped up -- and often brings in Emmys. But the first station to arrive at the crash site in Cove Neck, L.I., was not one of the big boys from New York City. It was a crew from News 12, a 24-hour cable channel seen only on suburban Long Island. One of the channel's satellite trucks happened to be half a mile away when word of the crash came over the police scanner. The crew raced to the scene and provided dramatic footage that was picked up by all three networks. The coverage even...
...even Walt, ambitious social engineer that he was, might have been taken aback by the adoption of his commercial vision as Orlando's urban-planning model. Many new arrivals value the place because it offers the virtues of an escape: it is a suburban sprawl that strives to eliminate every kind of vexatious complexity.

The driver hands over a packet of intelligence reports and diplomatic cables that moved overnight, and Gates scans these and the newspapers on his way to the White House. He usually eats lunch at his desk. He seldom gets home before...
Duany and Plater-Zyberk are not anti-development. Indeed, businesspeople seem to like them and their notions of enlightened self-interest. Joseph Alfandre, the man behind Kentlands and Belmont, had been a very successful developer of rather routine suburban pods around Washington. In 1988 he was considering land-use plans for the 352-acre Kentlands site. Then he heard about Duany and Plater-Zyberk, became a convert, canceled his plans and started over...
