BY DAWN'S early light, Laurel Thornton stood there on the sidewalk yesterday, on Main Street in Ellicott City, and did not move. Below her, fire officials held people back while investigators moved delicately through burned-out buildings to see what might yet collapse, and everybody wondered what remained of their previous lives."

NEW YORK -- Goldman Sachs Group LP's Jon Corzine stepped down yesterday as co-chief executive, ceding control of the biggest investment banking partnership after withdrawing a plan to sell stock to the public and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in bond trading.Corzine, 52, led the drive to go public and lost some of his stature after the 129-year-old firm canceled the stock sale in September as world markets plunged, Goldman employees said. He was also tarnished as a business he helped build -- bond trading -- suffered losses that led to an 81 percent decline in fourth-quarter pretax profit.

IN OUR NEVER-ENDING search for villains in the Littleton, Colo., shooting spree that left 15 people, including the alleged gunmen, dead, we have trotted out the usual suspects. Liberals have targeted the National Rifle Association and too many guns, conservatives have blamed violent movies, video games and music.How could we leave out TV? Don Sachs has another suspect that hasn't been trotted out, one whom teens -- in Baltimore at least -- can watch five days a week: Jerry Springer. Well, not so much Springer as his so-called "talk" show that stinks up the airwaves coast-to-coast on Monday through Friday.

Many describe it as a perfect fit. When Kurt L. Schmoke leaves the mayor's office at the end of the year, he will join a law firm that seems tailor-made for him.Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering -- considered by some to be the top firm in Washington and among the five best in the country -- will provide Schmoke the opportunity to work on government issues on national and international stages."

At first glance, the films of Lynne Sachs and Mark Street look like home movies -- the sort of intimate portraits of families and journeys that may not necessarily translate to a wider audience.But in their hands, such otherwise banal subjects as a visit with a far-flung sibling or the daily growth of the couple's eldest daughter blossom into poetic meditations on such universal -- and always absorbing -- themes of dislocation, intimacy and the swoon of new parenthood.Three of their short films will be shown tonight at The Lodge in Highlandtown.

ELVIS SHOWED up in Ellicott City last week to give Bill and Carole Sachs the shirt off his back. The young man didn't give his last name, but he became the spirit of Main Street.He pulled up a few days after a $2 million fire drove the Sachses from their shop, Spring House Designs. He wrapped figurines in his scarf, his hat and then his shirt. He came with his tools and his truck several nights last week. He had skills to lend."This is my town," he said -- as if that were explanation enough.

Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. yesterday officially unveiled plans to form a new company to acquire power plants, a move that analysts praised as a "smart" way to take advantage of energy industry changes.The decision by the Baltimore utility and the New York investment firm to form Orion Power Holdings comes as states are mandating that energy companies sell plants as part of a shift toward deregulation and competition. At the same time, utilities nationwide are shedding generating assets to devote themselves to energy distribution and transmission.

Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. is expected to announce today that it has created a new company with investment house Goldman, Sachs & Co. to buy power plants.The creation of Orion Power Holdings Inc. is intended to take advantage of the changing energy industry. It comes as several other utilities nationwide -- including Florida Power & Light Co. and U.S. Generating Co. -- already are working to acquire generating assets."This is a logical extension of what we set up with Constellation Power Source," said Charles W. Shivery, chief executive of the BGE subsidiary devoted to marketing power.

A reader asked for help in telling her kids she'd been laid off. I asked Brad Sachs to respond. He's a psychologist in Columbia who has written books on parenting, including The Good Enough Child, The Good Enough Teen and When No One Understands. Here are his tips: * Be straightforward. "Children need to be able to trust their parents, and trust is rooted in knowing that they will be dealt with honestly." Sachs suggests you say something like: "I have some not-so-great news to share with you, but I think you're old enough that I can be truthful.

Former Maryland State Police Superintendent Thomas E. "Tim" Hutchins defended yesterday the surveillance and infiltration of protest groups under his watch, saying investigators needed to gather information to prepare for potentially "volatile" demonstrations planned around executions of death row inmates. In his most extensive remarks since revelations of the spying operations in 2005 and 2006, Hutchins said at a legislative hearing that troopers attended open meetings of protest groups and were not required to announce who they were or show their badges.

Gov. Martin O'Malley announced yesterday that former Maryland Attorney General Stephen H. Sachs will head an independent review of state police efforts to infiltrate and monitor activist groups opposed to the death penalty and the Iraq war. The announcement comes days after lawmakers in Annapolis and on Capitol Hill called for hearings or inquiries into the matter. O'Malley said he took the step to get a "fresh view" of the state police activities that took place during the previous administration and to give the public assurance that the surveillance has been thoroughly investigated.

Real estate downturns aside, 90210 is still a very good ZIP code. Slated to premiere Sept. 2, the CW's new version of the Aaron Spelling classic has dominated the entertainment press this pilot season like few other new television shows. Of course, TV fans have been hungry to learn who will be cast as the new clique of rich kids, but they seem even more interested in which of the old characters who left the prime-time schedule eight years ago might be stopping by West Beverly High or the Peach Pit. It's a challenge that executive producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah (Freaks and Geeks)

Seems like you'd need special legal authority and uncommon nerve to dupe William Donald Schaefer into moving to a retirement home. But it looks like Lainy LeBow-Sachs only had nerve. The longtime Schaefer aide got him out of his Pasadena townhouse last month on the pretense of a Petit Louis lunch so movers could take his furniture and belongings to the Charlestown Retirement Community. At the time, LeBow-Sachs said she was authorized to move the 86-year-old political icon - against his will - because he had granted her power of attorney.

A bunch of guys loaded the contents of William Donald Schaefer's Pasadena townhouse into a truck the other day while he lunched, unsuspecting, at Petit Louis in Roland Park. The former mayor, governor and comptroller was moving, only he didn't know it. A longtime aide with power of attorney had been pushing for him to move to Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville for a long time. And the famously cantankerous politician had been pushing right back. "I wasn't ready to move," Schaefer, 86, said yesterday, recalling how the aide initially sent movers to his house three weeks ago, not long after a fall at home required a trip to the emergency room and stitches.

Just like scoping out the perfect shot, professional photographers Joseph and Anne Sachs allowed themselves time to find exactly what they wanted in a home. Having rented for many years in Baltimore's Roland Park neighborhood, they were seeking something with similar ambience. "We wanted something with character," said Anne Sachs, co-owner, along with her husband, of Artful Weddings by Sachs Photography. "A classic-style house, with hardwood floors, high ceilings and a fireplace." What they eventually found was a three-story red brick Georgian-style townhouse on Newland Road in the southeast corner of the city's Guilford neighborhood.
