...until recently traffic coordinator at U.S. Recycling Industries, says she wouldn't hesitate to order chocolate tortes or cheesecake when treated to a business lunch. "Since I'm not paying, the calories don't really count," she rationalizes. In Chicago, Donna Needy, 41, a casualty-company exec, begins each weekday with a healthy dose of high-fiber Metamucil powder and follows up with a strict 900-calorie diet. But, she confesses, "the 900 calories can be anything: ice cream or Fannie May lemon butter creams...

Every weekday morning, Sasso in Boston and Baker in Washington preside over strategy meetings designed to fine-tune that day's thematics.

The two-mile elevated section, built without any shoulders or slowdown and speedup lanes for exits and entrances, has an accident rate that is twice the average for urban highways...
...fact is, unless there are lights at Wrigley, not a whole lot of assembly line workers are going to get a chance to see a weekday game. The other point of course is that day games will still exist after the lights go on in Chitown. Every other team in the league has lights and they still hold weekday games in the afternoon. It's a case of the glass being half empty or half full. For the pessimists, it means the end of tradition. To the optimist, it means more baseball more of the time. Who could be against...
