Regal China Cruises, which travels the Yangtze River, is offering a 30% discount for grandparents traveling with grandchildren this summer.

For Starr, the plea bargain allows him to leave the public stage with a certain level of vindication after having repeatedly pursued Hubbell on Clinton-related matters. It also sweetens somewhat the bitter taste of recent defeats -- the acquittal and mistrial of Susan McDougal and the mistrial of Juliet Hiatt Steele.
