...YEARS BEFORE the veteran reporter-anchor Dan Rather, 75, broke ties with CBS, he and his bosses, who were famously eager to grab younger viewers, had been at odds. In 2006 the brusque newsman, known for his fearless field reporting and mysterious metaphors, finally left the anchor chair, ending his 44-year career at the network.

Now Rather is suing CBS and three of its top executives for $70 million, claiming the company made him a "scapegoat...

"There will be political consequences" for city officials, she warned Saturday, surrounded by a clutch of protesters. Meanwhile, people who live in the homes near the clinic are fearful of potential violence. For much of the weekend, police officers stood...

And though he has consistently ruled with the Administration on a number of important and high-profile terrorism cases, Mukasey broke with them in an early, crucial ruling, saying that American citizen Jose Padilla had a right to a lawyer, no matter what his status in the war on terror. Mukasey is also very close to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whom social conservatives distrust...
