Since then the company has admitted using these payments to cover up losses on earlier investments. An independent committee established by the company has reported it has found no evidence of the rumored involvement of organized crime… Full Story »

    After more than 100 years of supporting, literally, every imaginable walk of New York City life, the Willis Avenue Bridge was ready for retirement. For nearly all of the 20th century, it had stretched more than 200 ft/60m across the Harlem River, carrying over 70,000 vehicles a day (and runners in the New York City Marathon) between Manhattan and the Bronx. But by the summer of last year, a new bridge had been built to replace it. Made of steel, the new structurethe section that actually spans the river, to be preciseis about 350 ft/105m long, 65 ft/20m high, and… Full Story »
