NY Senate Standstill Ends
-------------------------



Here in New York, the Democrats have regained control of the state
Senate after Pedro Espada returned to the party. Espada set off a
standstill five weeks ago when he and another Democrat defected and
joined with the Republicans. Under a new leadership arrangement, Espada
will become the new majority leader in the Senate.
