| A Personal Rememberance by John Allen, League Board Member
In 1972, I was halfway home with a flat tire and walked into a bike shop that was just closing. Sheldon stayed late to fix it. That's how I first met him. There were 46 bicycles in or around his house "with a few shared wheels", by his recent count, mostly in his basement. He didn't buy bicycles off the shelf -- as a challenge to his mechanical ingenuity, and a way to spend less money and spend more time doing what he liked to do, he cobbled up customized bicycles from parts he acquired mostly through special deals, barter or secondhand, to suit himself or someone in his family. He often came up with a something unique, clever and useful. You may read about his bicycles on his Web site. He had an eye for style, but also, one or two rusty clunkers hung out by the back door getting rustier, for the quick ride to the convenience store, and several old hulks of bikes lived under the front porch.
When a Nano makes such a giga impact
NEW DELHI: The crowds started pouring into Hall 11 of Pragati Maidan hours before the Nano was scheduled to be unveiled at 11.30 am. By 10.30 am, there were no seats and TV crews had already begun positioning their cameras for the best possible view. Photographers were struggling to even stand and tempers began running high. It was tough enough reaching Pragati Maidan because of unusually heavy traffic but the jam inside was worse. Each time there was a buzz that Ratan Tata had come in, the photographers went ballistic. The organisers were imploring them to be seated but nobody was in a mood to oblige. Finally, the big man made his appearance and hysteria followed. As Tata described the journey of the peoples car, there were visuals playing in the background of the first bicycle and plane to drive home the theme of innovation.

Obama gains broader appeal, new poll finds
As far as Obama dressing in traditional Muslim garb, I don't think Americans need to fear that he is not just as pro-Israel as Bush or any of the previous American presidents. Should Hillary Clintons campaign be responsible for distributing the, 'photo,' Obama could hit back with a photo of Bill Clinton wearing a yarmulke. .
