Several years ago, when The Ohio State University gave a new contract to then head football coach Jim Tressel, Case Study examined the terms of the coach’s contract.

PARKLAND, Fla. — Jean Nidetch ambles down the hallway of the senior community where she lives, two cups of Coca-Cola teetering on her walker. In her one-bedroom apartment, there are Klondike bars in the freezer and, in the fridge, Baileys Irish Cream beside Chinese take-out.

The main block of the Nestle Building on South Columbus Street (Old 3C Highway) in Sunbury was demolished last Wednesday.

When the building started to lean, gravity took over and did the rest.
