...Tardiest Admission Thirty-three years after the Surgeon General first issued his warning, a cigarette company admitted that smoking causes cancer. As part of a legal settlement, the comparatively small Liggett Group also conceded that tobacco companies have aimed pitches at teenagers--a charge its bigger brethren still deny...
...During the past year, he's been in dozens of newspaper, radio and TV stories. I can't believe, frankly, that I'm writing about him too. I mean, it's just so wrong.

But the White House wants to make a deal with Gingrich, who they think may prove a more durable budget ally than House Democratic leaders. Meeting with Democratic brethren last week, the President shared none of the details of the emerging agreement, but promised he wouldn't seal a deal without support from at least half of all congressional Democrats. The message was double-edged and not very reassuring. As a participant said, "The President is willing to split...
