Joe Marinucci, President and CEO, Downtown Cleveland Alliance. With the Euclid Corridor Project nearing completion, we're now getting a clearer picture of the potential for business development expected downtown in coming years. A report prepared for the Alliance, the Historic Gateway Neighborhood and Playhouse Square Foundation points to new developments such as a furniture district, a 'college town' centered around Cleveland State University and a design district. Some development has already happened along and near East Fourth Street where an entertainment district thrives.
Roundtable:
Elizabeth Sullivan, foreign affairs writer, The Plain Dealer; Kevin O'Brien, columnist, The Plain Dealer; Brian Tucker, publisher and editorial director, Crain's Cleveland Business.

The roundtable will continue the discussion of prospects for re-emergence of downtown retailing.
The General Goes to Congress:
U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Patraeus this week urged Congress not to impose a strict timetable for withdrawal of U.S. forces. Doing so, he said, would threaten the fragile gains made by American and Iraqi security forces. In response, President Bush ordered a halt to troop withdrawals after July and warned Iran to stop interfering in Iraq or the U.S. will act to "protect its interests."
Trouble for the Attorney General:
Attorney General Marc Dann's office is investigating sexual harassment allegations that hit close to home. Two women who work in Dann's office accused a chief aide of pressuring them for sex. Published reports say one of the women who complained said she'd seen another AG's aide at Dann's apartment in her pajamas, an allegation Dann has denied. The sexual harassment complaints are under investigation. It's the latest dust-up for an attorney general whose time in office has generated a number of controversies.
