The "Israel at Heart" program, coordinated by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and their office of Academic Affairs in New York, sends the different groups of three students to various college campuses, high schools and other institutions around the United States to share their experiences of daily life in Israel under the current tense conditions.

Indianapolis faces Colts

Monday, Oct. 7,2002 12:37 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- With the Indianapolis Colts hinting they might leave the city if they do not receive a greater public subsidy, city officials and sports experts continue to ask: Are they worth it? Is it worth an additional $10 million annually from the city -- the lowest number the Colts suggest is needed -- to keep them financially viable in Indianapolis? "It's problematic because they play so infrequently and employ so few people," said Stanford University economist Roger Noll, considered a founder in the study of sports economics. "The right debate in Indianapolis is how much is it worth to you just to have the team." The Colts receive about $12 million a year in public funding, including $6.7 million in luxury suite sales. The city also pays about $1.2 million to the Colts to offset game-day expenses.
