BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG JOBThe National Federation of Independent Business, which has drawn 600,000 members from the 'burbs, is aiming at urban America. The goal: to create pro-business pressure in heavily Democratic congressional districts and enlist minorities. In New York, the first stop, cultural differences pose challenges. Koreans, for example, only ``sign up in teams,'' says President Jack Farris. So far, fewer than 100 new members have joined in three months, bringing the total to 250. But, says Farris, ``If we can do it in the Big Apple, we'll do it in Detroit or Chicago.'' Time will tell.
