"Now, Cafeteria, which has a restaurant on Seventh Avenue, plans to open an 11,000- square-foot, 24-hour restaurant that will stretch along Lafayette from Great Jones to Bond Street, engulfing the Jones Diner site.

Community Board 2 on Thursday denied Cafeteria's request for the variance it needs to build its three-story, $4 million restaurant, unless the Jones Diner can be incorporated into the design. The Board of Standards and Appeals will consider the request."

"Wait a minute. Shredco? What is this, the Jetsons? Anyway, it's true: Upon further investigation, there really is a Shredco. Its motto, as currently rendered on the firm's site, is: "You threw it away ... or so you thought. Now you're being sued. Don't just throw it away ... Destroy it!"

"German financial giant Deutschebank and the terrorist attacks of September 11 - including previously documented links to insider trading based upon events of 9/11 - no press agency or government entity is questioning why certain banking institutions in Kuwait and Bahrain with deep financial ties to the Bush family have been overlooked in the President's supervision of a so-called "worldwide crackdown on terrorist financing." Reuters reported on 11-7-2001 that the Treasury Department added 61 additional people and organizations to the President's original Executive Order of September 23 -- including banks in Somalia and Nassau, The Bahamas. But mysteriously, no banks in Bahrain, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia were named in either the original order or its expansion."

"I'm disappointed that, after all that build-up, you don't have a detailed long-run plan for fighting terrorism, but I'm happy to see you embracing my hobbyhorse, "world governance." The first time I heard you do this was while you and I were debating in early 2001 in New York. At the time I wasn't sure whether you meant it or were just staging a pre-emptive strike, trying to keep me from lecturing you about the need for an enforceable biological weapons convention. (Only a year earlier, I had used you as a classic example of a world-governance skeptic.) But I'm starting to think you may be serious. Your sentence about patriotism becoming "obsolete" was dreamier than even I normally get!"
