Capital's 1998 TOP 50

Making a survey of the year's best and brightest for such a daunting year as 1998 EC may seem idealistic. This passing year saw political differences still unresolved, 11 million compatriots in need of food aid and tragically severe floods, which have killed many hundreds and displaced thousands. Thankfully, the year is over and it's time to send in your responses to Capital's 1998 TOP 50. This year's survey has been expanded to include 50 items so you will have a wider range of BESTS to ponder. Do take time, but not later than September 13th 2006 to fax, e-mail, and snail mail or drop by and give us your very valuable responses.
