S. officials said, either the Avalon or the Mystic could have been flown to a Russian port by Monday and carried to the Kursk by a Russian cargo ship.One concern was whether the hatches on the U.S. craft would have fit tightly enough with the hatches on the Russian submarine. Another was whether the Kursk was leaning too far toward one side for the rescue craft to connect to it.But after Russian officials finally requested international help on Wednesday, Great Britain dispatched a smaller rescue submarine. It is expected to reach the Kursk on Saturday. And though that could be too late to save any crew members who survived the submarine's plunge to the seabed, British authorities said Thursday that their hatches should match up with the Kursk's.They also quoted Russian officials as saying that the Kursk is listing only 20 degrees, and not 60 degrees, as previously announced.

One Russian submarine was so badly damaged after colliding with an American boat in 1970 that it almost sank, the Russian navy contends.Pentagon officials have repeatedly denied that any American submarine collided with the Kursk, which plunged to the seabed on Aug. 12. An intense rescue operation ended on Monday when the Russians concluded that all 118 sailors had died in the wreckage.U.S. officials have said that two American submarines were in the Barents Sea to monitor a Russian naval exercise that included the Kursk. But they have said that neither submarine was close to the Russian vessel. British officials also denied any involvement on Monday, saying they had no submarines in the Barents Sea.Since the Cold War ended, the tenor of the cat-and-mouse game, in which the submarines chased one another to test the other side's capabilities, has grown less aggressive.American officials even called Russian leaders to apologize shortly after each of the last two collisions occurred, in the early 1990s.

Then they fill out a questionnaire of health information.The Viagra sites alone differ dramatically in what health questions they ask, and what prices they charge.One site asks one question only: Do you take nitroglycerin or other ``nitrates''? Taking Viagra with those drugs can kill. But other health problems, including heart disease, recent heart attacks or abnormal blood pressure, also can make Viagra risky. Another site asks about those additional health problems, including whether would-be Viagra users recently had a ``myocardial infarction'' _ a heart attack.U.S. sites typically charge a ``consultation fee'' for a doctor to read those questionnaires, an effort to fulfill requirements that only doctors prescribe medication. The sites waive that fee if the doctor denies the customer the drug. If the drug is shipped, the customer pays the consultation fee, anywhere from dlrs 35 to dlrs 85, plus the drug's cost _ at one U.S. site, dlrs 105 for 10 Viagra pills.Foreign sites typically say they don't require a prescription _ hence no consultation fee and fewer health questions.

Last month, Pfizer Inc. reported Viagra sales of $141 million worldwide for the third quarter _ about a third of Viagra's $411 million sales in the second quarter.Dr. Larry Litscher, a Dayton urologist and a faculty member of Wright State University School of Medicine, isn't surprised. He says Viagra could never have lived up to its early hype as the first oral medication for impotence.``You had to be living in a cave at the time not to have heard about Viagra,'' he said. ``The result is that every man who ever had a problem (with impotence) asked for the drug when it first came out,'' whether it might work for him or not.Many patients were soon disappointed with 73.7 6 okay APW19990307.0020 And most plans have labeled Viagra a lifestyle drug, which does little to improve health of most men. 73.7 6 okay NYT19980619.0324 Aetna cited in refusing to cover prescriptions for Viagra the " primarily recreational/lifestyle use and abuse of this drug " 73.7 6 okay NYT19980619.0324 In refusing to cover prescriptions for Viagra, Aetna cited the "primarily recreational / lifestyle use and ab use of this drug." 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side - effects of Viagra , reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches , a flushed face and ` blue vision ' purportedly caused by overuse . 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side-effects of Viagra, reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches, a flushed face and `blue vision' purportedly caused by overuse 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side-effects of Viagra, reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches, a flushed face and 'blue vision' purportedly caused by overuse. 73.7 7 okay APW19980626.0354 vision and headache problems, Viagra's side effects include an incompatibility with some heart drugs. 73.7 7 okay APW19980915.0624 Besides potential vision and headache problems, Viagra's side effects include an incompatibility with some heart drugs. 73.7 7 okay APW19981124.1419 It also can cause vision problems.

He retired in 1975.It was around this time that Holton first began writing an annual letter to the university, expressing a desire to create scholarships for Midwestern students with a small trust that he intended to leave to DePauw after he and his wife had died, Bottoms said.The couple's only child, Jane, died in 1974 at the age of 38. She had no children.DePauw, a liberal arts institution in Greencastle, in west-central Indiana, has an enrollment of 2,334. Although the gift ranks among the 10 largest to an American university, it is dwarfed by the gift believed to lead that list: $300 million in stock from the Ingram Charitable Fund to Vanderbilt University last year.When Bottoms became president of DePauw in 1986, he said Holton estimated the value of the trust at about $1.5 million.After Holton died in 1995, a month shy of his 88th birthday, the trust reverted to his wife. When she died in 1997, at 90, the university was told that the trust was worth about $18 million, Bottoms said.Soon after, though, Bottoms said he was stunned to learn that DePauw had been named as the beneficiary of half of the Holtons' estate, much of it invested in Time-Warner stock that Holton had first received when his company was bought by Time Inc. in 1978, before being spun off in 1983.At the time of Mrs. Holton's death, the full estate was valued at $125 million, Bottoms said.But in the two years it has taken to transfer half of the estate to DePauw, the value of Time-Warner stock has climbed, doubling the estate's value.The university's share, Bottoms said, was ultimately $128 million _ enough to pay for 75 scholarships a year.The scholarships are to be awarded on the basis of need, as well as merit, to students from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio 74.7 3 okay NYT19990818.0318 received $128 million in stocks, one of the largest gifts bestowed on an American university, from two former students who never graduated 74.7 3 okay NYT19990818.0318 University said Wednesday that it had received $128 million in stocks, one of the largest gifts bestowed on an American university, from the estate of two former students who never graduated from DePauw. 74.7 4 okay NYT19980728.0404 INDIANA ASBURY COLLEGE CHANGED ITS NAME TO DEPAUW UNIVERSITY IN THE 1870'S AFTER WA.

Merck shares fell $7.31 1/4 after the announcement Friday. On Monday, CIBC Oppenheimer downgraded the firm's investment rating on Merck from a strong buy to a buy. The stock dropped another $1.50 Monday to $137.50 in the New York Stock Exchange trading.Some analysts had hoped MK-869, would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations involving its major drugs in the next three years. The expirations will likely cause a flood of cheaper generic medicines and erode Merck's sales.MK-869 was also expected to shake up the $7 billion antidepressant market, now dominated by Eli Lilly's Prozac and Pfizer's Zoloft.Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., said it was evaluating its options related to MK-869. Merck initially expected to start final stage of human testing this year. Those plans have now been placed on hold.``This delay is clearly a major negative for Merck's stock,'' said Mariola Haggar, analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities.The problem with MK-869 places more pressure on Merck's other expected blockbuster, Vioxx, a drug for pain relief, she said. The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve Vioxx later this year.Merck said it still plans to move ahead with studies to use MK-869 to help prevent nausea in chemotherapy patients 75.8 6 okay APW19990125.0320 some analysts had hoped MK-869 would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations Merck from the rash of patent expirations 's major drugs 75.8 6 okay NYT19990802.0355 would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations involving its major drugs in the next three years. 75.8 7 okay APW19990524.0212 NEW YORK (AP)-- Merck & Co. made a $5.2 billion profit last year on nearly $27 billion in sales. 75.8 7 okay APW19990524.0212 NEW YORK (AP)-- Merck Co. made a $5.2 billion profit last year on nearly $27 billion in sales. 75.8 8 okay XIE19960612.0075 a joint venture in east China 's Hangzhou city , which manufactures five kinds of pharmaceuticals invented by Merck 75.8 8 okay XIE19960612.0075 The US company also has a joint venture in east China's Hangzhou city, which manufactures five kinds of pharmaceuticals invented by Merck. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 An American medicine company has donated a Chinese-version book on diseases affecting old people to health departments in Shanghai, China's largest city.Merck & Co., one of leading pharmaceutical research and production companies in the world, believes the book will help the elderly and medics effectively diagnose and treat diseases in old people.It is part of co-operation between Merck & Co. and China in medicine development and production, according to Raymond V Gilmarman, chairman and president of Merck & Co..He also said Merck & Co. is confident of China's potential market for medicines to treat diseases in old people.In China, about 20,000 people a day turn 60 years of age, and experts predicted that in 2030, one in every four Chinese people will be over 60.Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck and Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities 75.8 9 okay XIE19960612.0075 Merck, with its headquarters in New Jersey, the United States, has been at the forefront of developing and producing innovative vaccines for more than 100 years. 75.8 9 okay XIE19960612.0075 Merck with the region 's headquarters in New Jersey, the United States has been at the forefront of developing and producing innovative vaccines for more than 100 years 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 '' 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll . 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll. 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 birthplace: 1944, Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll. 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 Tacoma-born 76.8 2 okay APW19990112.0070 Douglas compared the event to the old Bing Crosby affair at Pebble Beach, which is now known as the ATT Classic -- only without the pros. 76.8 2 okay NYT19980725.0008 He confined his tournament play to sectionals and the occasional Bing Crosby Pro-Am, tying for third in the latter in 1974 76.8 2 okay NYT19990618.0187 ends several months of negotiations between the two groups over the sale of Pebble Beach, the legendary birthplace of the Bing Crosby Pro-Am Golf Tournament _ the ``Crosby Clambake,'' as some called it. 76.8 3 okay NYT20000327.0388 sites and all manner of related material.RAISING THE DEADGary Giddins , who is writing a biography of Bing Crosby for Little, Brown, told Talk magazine that his opinion of his subject changed as his research deepened.``When I set out, I believed that Bing Crosby was probably a son of a bitch.

Under Oregon law, the 17-year-old Kinkel could have been sentenced to as few as 25 years or as many as 220, experts say.Reports say Kinkel, in September, pleaded guilty and agreed to serve at least 25 years in prison for the murders, plus whatever the judge might be added. The judge crafted a combination of concurrent and consecutive sentences that added up to 111 years and 8 months.Kinkel's rampage began on May 20, 1998, after he was expelled from school for having a stolen pistol in his locker. He shot and killed his parents, teachers Bill and Faith Kinkel, then spent the night planting booby-trap bombs around their bodies.The next morning, dressed in a long trench coat, he walked into the cafeteria just before classes began and calmly pulled a.22- caliber semiautomatic rifle from his coat. Firing from his hip, he squeezed off 50 rounds in just 90 seconds.Ben Walker, 16, and Mikael Nickolauson, 17, were killed and 25 people were wounded.

His parents were later found shot to death in their home. He had been expelled from Springfield's Thurston High School a day before the May 21 shootings.New details from the aftermath of the shooting emerged during pretrial hearings Tuesday. Along with testimony, prosecutors played a videotaped walk-through of the rampage made in the cafeteria where the shooting had occurred hours earlier.On the tape, detectives ask Kinkel why he did it. ``I had no other choice,'' he replies.Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives . 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives. 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives 79.7 12 okay APW19990518.0244 It was that rifle that Kip used to fire off 50 rounds at Thurston High School. 79.7 12 okay NYT19991110.0481 a semiautomatic rifle in the school cafeteria, spraying the room with about 50 rounds in a minute 79.7 12 okay XIE19991111.0207 squeezed off 50 rounds in just 90 seconds 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0074 A boy who shot schoolmates in Springfield, Ore., last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III.'' 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0074 last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III. 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0076 A boy who shot schoolmates in Springfield, Ore., last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III.''

Lots of times, life sucked. With my parents, if I didn't do the best, I was an embarrassment to my parents.''Concerning the Thurston shootings, Kinkel told Bolstad, ``I knew people would be in cafeteria.

And there are people who do it for hoaxes.''Daddea says he thinks he has the real thing. That's why he took the dense, dark rock on Wednesday to the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach, where planetarium director Erich Landstrom chipped off a piece of it to send to the Smithsonian for analysis.Landstrom doesn't have anything to say about the alleged meteorite until the results come back in about a month.``I get people every day telling me they've found a meteorite,'' said Eric Twelker, a lawyer in Juneau, Alaska, who owns an on-line meteorite sales business called The Meteorite Market. ``One guy's been pushing a piece of limestone on me for years.''Twelker buys and sells meteorites around the world. He has an inventory of about 500 meteorite chunks for sale and thousands of what he describes as ``little bitty things.''Meteorites are priced by the gram, and a 5-pound rock, something about the size of Daddea's find, could fetch thousands of dollars from a collector, Twelker said.Some meteorites are more significant than others. Most of them come from the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. When these asteroid chunks collide during their orbits, they break apart and Jupiter's gravitational power flings them into elliptical trajectories that cross Earth's path.But others are actually wayward pieces of our moon or other planets. A meteorite from Mars, a rarity, goes for about $2,000 per gram, Twelker said. (There are about 457 grams per pound.)One piece, weighing about a hundredth of an ounce, sold at auction this year for $4,600.``Our Earth receives at least 10 tons of meteoric dust every day,'' Horkheimer said.Entry into the Earth's atmosphere burns up most of the meteorites, turning them into flashes in the night sky but nothing big enough to make an impact on the ground.But a small number of meteorite chunks do manage to survive the scorching trip through our planet's atmosphere.

He said he discovered it while walking to the edge of his duck pond one morning and seeing the edge of the rock sticking out in the middle of a circular, pothole-size indentation in the soft, sandy soil.``It's definitely a meteorite,'' he said.The rock does display some of the characteristics of a meteorite.It attracts a magnet _ a vast majority of meteorites contain iron.It has a dark rind on the outer surface, which appears to be what's known as a fusion crust, a burned appearance created by the entry into Earth's atmosphere. And it also has an irregular shape marked by ``thumb prints,'' which the heat generated from entry causes in meteorites.But scientists perform specialized tests on possible meteorites, examining their crystal structure and pinpointing their composition to rule out earthly copycats.``There are things that are very difficult to fake,'' Twelker said.So Daddea's waiting for the test results to come back and starting to collect preliminary offers from collectors, he said.``I've been getting offers of several thousands of dollars for it,'' he said.``What about keeping it for yourself?'' I asked.Daddea said he'd have no use for a meteorite.``It's just a rock,'' he said.Story Filed By Cox NewspapersFor Use By Clients of the New York Times News 85.7 1 okay NYT19990105.0101 Norwegian Cruise Lines will present its newest vessel , the .... , and is now cutting the popular Majesty in half and expanding the Boston - to - Bermuda vessel by some 100 feet ; a new line , World Cruises , will begin bargain - priced around - the - world cruises in December . 85.7 1 okay NYT19990323.0103 How do you add 203 staterooms, a second swimming pool, and a second dining room to an existing cruise ship?

Luxembourg also has frozen $600 million, and more money is being held in Britain.

If I had put my lifeblood into a novel and then had someone come along and try to dissect it, I guess I would be a little hesitant.''We pause here for the Cliffs Notes history.Don't worry: It's the condensed version.It all began when Cliff Hillegass, native son of Rising City, Neb., became head of the wholesale division of the Nebraska Book Co. He traveled across the country, getting to know college-bookstore owners everywhere. One day he was chatting with his buddy and business associate, bookstore owner Jack Cole, who had introduced a line of condensed classics in Canada called Cole's Notes. Why don't you try to make it fly in the United States? Cole asked Hillegass.Hillegass tapped into his network of bookstore owners and took a temperature reading: Would something like Cliffs Notes sell in the United States? Could be, they said. So, in 1958, he got busy. On a handshake deal with a Lincoln printing company, he put out 2,000 copies of Notes on each of the 16 major plays of Shakespeare, with 1,000 extra copies of the Notes on ``Macbeth.''The rest, as they say, is history.Since then, critics have decried Cliffs Notes as literary butchery. They note, for example, that Herman Melville's ``Moby Dick'' is 595 pages; the Cliffs Notes version totals 96. Cliffs Notes dispatch Chapter 1 in two paragraphs; it takes Melville that long to introduce his main character, Ishmael.Several years ago, Pennsylvania's Villanova University went so far as to ban Cliffs Notes from its bookstore.You'd think that in their birthplace, at least, Cliffs Notes would get a little respect. Think again.``No, we don't carry them, and if we did, I wouldn't tell a soul,'' says Paul, a reference librarian at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who doesn't want to give his last name. This is a scholarly place, he says; there's no room for Notes. He punches in the computer coordinates for the Bennett Martin Public Library and finds that, yes indeed, you can find Cliffs Notes there, 254 titles, everything from Tan's ``The Joy Luck Club'' to the New Testament. (``Ooh, don't tell me how it ends!'' Paul jokes.)One sector where Cliffs Notes get plenty of respect is among students in this Midwestern college town, where Cornhusker football reigns, the airport boasts four gates and everyone has a sturdy, corn-fed, vaguely Nordic look. At the college bookstore, employee Joyce Jensen has seen plenty of panic in the last 15 years.``(Students) come running in here all desperate,'' Jensen says. ``They get all disappointed when they find we've sold out of a certain (Cliffs Notes). And they think there's a Cliffs Notes for every single book ever published. There's not.''(Tubach assures such students that almost any title can be downloaded for $6 off the Internet at www.cliffs.com. Regular Notes cost between $3 and $5.)The use of the primers seems to have increased in recent times, says Jensen. ``Sad to say, kids aren't reading as much,'' she says. ``I think maybe they have 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb. 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 ` ` To use his words , he is very humbled , ' ' said Robert Covolik , the president of Cliffs Notes in Lincoln , Neb , and a longtime friend of Hillegass . 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 To use his words, he is very humbled,'' said Robert Covolik, the president of Cliffs Notes in Lincoln, Neb., and a longtime friend of Hillegass. `` 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass , the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln , Neb . 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb. 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb.

Bragg realized he had a lot in common with Guthrie, though the two musicians were separated by a couple generations and an ocean.``Me and Woody had pretty different experiences _ he in the 1930s and '40s and me in the '70s and '80s _ but I think we came to similar conclusions,'' Bragg said.In 1992, Bragg was invited to perform at a memorial concert celebrating what would have been Guthrie's 80th birthday at New York's Central Park. (Guthrie died in 1967 of Huntington's chorea, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system.) It was there that Bragg met Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie, who was establishing an archive of her father's music.Sensing a similarity between Bragg's music and her father's, Nora Guthrie gave Bragg photocopies of several of Woody Guthrie's songs.``Some of them were typed and some were handwritten,'' Bragg said. ``(Guthrie) took a correspondence course in typing as a teenager and he was a very fast typist. The lyrics for `Bound for Glory' were typed without punctuation.''With Nora Guthrie's encouragement, Bragg's interpretations of Guthrie's songs led to the creation of Bragg's new album, ``Mermaid Avenue,'' named for the Coney Island street where Guthrie and his family lived the late 1940s and early '50s. The extraordinary album features 15 previously unrecorded Guthrie songs, among them ``Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key,'' ``Hoodoo Voodoo'' and ``Christ for President,'' brought to life by Bragg and roots-rock band Wilco, with guest vocals on two songs by Natalie Merchant.``They're all complete songs,'' Bragg said of the Guthrie tunes on the album. ``But the music was not written down, it was carried in his head. There is no musical notation whatsoever.''Even so, Bragg and Wilco had little difficulty imagining what Guthrie may have had in mind when he wrote the songs.``As a songwriter, I sweat over my lyrics more than anything. So much of the effort goes into writing the lyrics and making them articulate something,'' Bragg said. ``But the music just flows. I hear the music as I write the words. So all I had to do with Woody's lyrics was sit down and feel the tunes. And if the music didn't fit, I'd try another song.''Occasionally, Guthrie, as if speaking from the afterlife, gave Bragg little clues.Bragg was startled to discover a song Guthrie had written in the early '50s titled ``My Flying Saucer.'' To Bragg, the song was evidence Guthrie was ahead of his time, forging sounds that would later reach the mainstream.``I would not expect Woody Guthrie to write a song that might end up on `The X-Files,' '' Bragg said.Even more surprising, Guthrie had written the words ``supersonic boogie'' in the upper left hand corner of the page, where he often indicated a song's tempo.Fascinated by the uncharacteristic phrase, Bragg was inspired to try something different.``I heard the little guy's voice whispering in my ear, and he said, `Go on, Bill, I dare you. I dare you to take one of the sacred texts of St. Woody Guthrie and play it to a supersonic boogie.'``I thought, All right, Woody boy, I'll take you up on it. You wrote these two little words, almost 50 years ago, for me to pick up on. And I'm going to run with it.''Bragg said he was encouraged by the response the album has received from those who were close to Guthrie, including folk musician Fred Hellerman.``These are people who are very, very concerned, but also very, very old,'' Bragg said. ``And they want to know that this legacy is going to be passed on.''Bragg said he is often asked if Guthrie is relevant today.``Ask Beck that question,'' he said. ``Who else is more cutting edge than Beck? And there he is quoting Woody Guthrie, copping licks off Woody, talking about Woody in interviews.''Bragg is still chuckling over a recent magazine article in which Beck said Guthrie was sexy but folk veteran Pete Seeger, whose friendship with Guthrie began in the '30s, was not.The subject came up later at the Woody Guthrie archive, located at the New York office of talent manager Harold Leventhal, who also represents Seeger. Leventhal's wife, Natalie, offered a recollection of Guthrie's sex appeal.``She and I were standing by the copy machine and she said, `You didn't know Woody, did you?' And I said, `No, Natalie, no I didn't.'``At that point, she sort of looked off into the distance and said, `Well, you know, Woody was a scrawny little guy with a big nose and sort of black fuzzy hair . . . But, by God, he was sexy.'``That kind of stuff is just priceless.

Woody wrote down the words _ but not the tunes _ while living on Mermaid Avenue on Coney Island after World War II. Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie, curator of the Woody Guthrie Archive in New York, approached Bragg about setting the songs to music. The album has been hailed by critics as one of the year's best.Woody is on one of four folk-singer stamps issued on June 26, along with Huddie ``Leadbelly'' Ledbetter, Josh White and Sonny Terry.In December, the Smithsonian will launch a traveling exhibit on Woody's life and legacy, including home movies, diaries, drawings, lyrics, photographs and recordings, including the landmark interviews Woody taped in 1940 with folklorist Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.The essential Woody:Beginning in 1944, Woody recorded more than 150 original and traditional songs for Folkways Records. In 1987, the Folkways archives were acquired by the Smithsonian, and they are now available on the Smithsonian/Folkways label.

His predecessor, James Kerasiotes, was fired after a federal audit charged him with concealing a $2 billion cost overrun.Known officially as the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel Project, the Big Dig will bury three miles of Interstate 93 beneath downtown Boston. It was originally expected to cost $2.6 billion, but the federal government now puts the price tag at $13.6 billion.The project was widely viewed as a drain on state finances and a hassle for hundreds of thousands of commuters -- even before allegations of mismanagement.Some of Boston's best-known and most politically connected consultants were dismissed from the Big Dig, such as media strategist George Regan, a longtime confidante of Kerasiotes, and the lobbying firm GPC O'Neill, headed by former Lieut. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill III.''We have reviewed these consulting contracts and have determined that they are not necessary and 102.7 5 okay NYT20000411.0226 IRED (Washington), Gov.

Frank Wolf, R-Va., head of the House Appropriations transportation panel, also wants an independent audit of Big Dig finances and suggested subpoenas may be necessary to ensure everything comes out.Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater said it was unacceptable that project officials were not more forthcoming about costs but told Wolf's panel he must complete a review of a report released Monday by the inspector general before deciding whether to take action.In his report, Kenneth Mead documented cost construction overruns of at least $942 million and chastised state and federal transportation officials for ``an alarming lapse in oversight.''The three-mile Big Dig project, officially called the Central Artery-Third Harbor Tunnel, goes through downtown Boston. It was started in 1993 and was supposed to be finished next year, but delays have pushed back the completion date to perhaps as late as 2006.Three months ago, the Federal Highway Administration and Big Dig officials objected to a draft version of the inspector general's report, claiming the cost estimates were exaggerated.But last week, Big Dig officials revealed the project would cost more than $13.2 billion, about $1.4 billion more than previously estimated. That admission came only hours after the FHA, charged with overseeing the project, had signed off on the Big Dig's yearly finance plan. It did not mention the overruns.Wolf, a longtime critic of the project, said protestations about the draft report look like ``deliberate deceit.'' He asked whether there might be a ``civil or criminal penalty for not telling the truth'' in this situation.He said neither Big Dig officials nor the FHA could be trusted to provide information about costs and that an independent agency with subpoena power should conduct an audit.Big Dig spokesman Jeremy Crockford denied wrongdoing.``We have been working very closely with Federal Highway since the beginning.

Danjaq produced 18 of the 20 Bond movies released since ``Dr. No'' in 1962.The settlement involves a $5 million payment by Sony Pictures Entertainment to MGM and effectively makes permanent a preliminary injunction issued by a court in July 1998, prohibiting the Sony parties from making Bond movies in the United States, MGM said.Steuber said that MGM in turn paid Sony $10 million for the international rights to the movies and certain specific rights to the 1967 James Bond movie ``Casino Royale.'' The parties also agreed to a worldwide prohibition on Sony making Bond movies, Steuber said.MGM filed suit in federal court in 1997 when Sony announced its intention to develop a Bond film. The case had been scheduled to go to trial next month.The dispute hinged on rights controlled by Kevin McClory, a writer and producer who produced the Bond films ``Thunderball'' in 1965 and `` 108.7 8 okay APW19990329.0116 Sony gave up MGM's fight to make a James Bond film under terms of multimillion -

Amway recently completed buybacks of shares of Amway Asia Pacific Ltd. and Amway Japan, Ltd., its only publicly held subsidiaries."Our cash position is solid, our debt is manageable, we're financially very strong," Bain said. "Our sales are a bit behind what we hoped they would be, but that's not the driving force here."Bain said tentative plans call for Amway to reorganize into three divisions:- A direct-selling unit that concentrates on Amway's traditional business, while overseeing Quixtar, Amway's Internet-retailing sister company launched last fall;- A manufacturing and business unit;- An entrepreneurial division to come up with new ways to direct-market to the public, possibly incorporating some of the Internet technologies used by Quixtar.Al Koop, who heads Amway's operations, will take over the distribution and manufacturing unit.Steve Van Andel and Dick DeVos will retain their jobs as chairman and president respectively.Amway's free-lance work force, also known as independent business owners, should not be affected, Bain said 111.6 1 vital APW20000202.0287 -- A direct-selling unit that concentrates on Amway's traditional business, while overseeing Quixtar, Amway's Internet-retailing sister company launched last fall; 111.6 1 vital APW20000202.0287 " Bain said tentative plans call for Amway to reorganize into three divisions : - A direct-selling unit that concentrates on Amway's traditional business, while overseeing Quixtar, Amway's Internet-retailing sister company launched last fall ; -- A manufacturing and business unit ; -- An entrepreneurial division to come up with new ways to direct-market to the public, possibly incorporating some of the Internet technologies used by Quixtar. 111.6 1 vital APW20000202.0287 some of the Internet technologies used by Quixtar.Following the reorganization, Doug DeVos, who had been running Amway's Asia-Pacific region, becomes responsible for Amway business worldwide as well as Quixtar.David Van Andel, who had been Amway's senior vice president for the North America, Latin America and Europe, will head the unit charged with creating entrepreneurial opportunities worldwide.Al Koop, who heads Amway's operations, will continue to be responsible for Amway's worldwide distribution and manufacturing.Steve Van Andel and Dick DeVos will retain their jobs as chairman and president, respectively.Amway's free-lance work force, also known as independent business owners, should not be affected, Bain said 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 Amway is promoting the new venture with an Internet site, www.countdown9199.com, which recruits investors but cloaks Quixtar's link to Amway 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 amway rides onto internet via quixtar. 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 AMWAY RIDES ONTO INTERNET VIA QUIXTAR 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 AMWAY RIDES ONTO INTERNET VIA QUIXTAR SANTA ROSA, Calif_ Retailing giant Amway is taking its network marketing business model, the foundation of its $5. 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 Bringing to fruition an effort one year in the making, Amway on Sept. 1 will open Quixtar, a spin-off company with an Internet site that will sell Amway's well-known products, such as cleansers, vitamins and beauty aids, and host as many as 200 other online stores selling name-brand products. 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 He said Quixtar is not expected to replace Amway 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 John Parker, who holds the dual positions of director of distributor relations for Amway and director of business relations for Quixtar, said Quixtar will operate as a separate company from Amway. `` 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 ` ` Quixtar is not a subsidiary nor a division of Amway , but a sister company owned like Amway by the DeVos and Van Andel families Parker said , ' ' . 111.6 1 vital NYT19990616.0271 the making, Amway on Sept. 1 will open Quixtar, a spin 111.6 2 vital APW19980603.0415 The privately-owned company, based in suburban Gr 111.6 2 vital APW19980603.0415 The privately-owned company, based in suburban Grand Rapids, sells more
