...scare died down after the British government destroyed tens of thousands of cattle, removed infected feed from the food chain and promised to step up slaughterhouse inspections. Mad-cow disease has stopped turning up in the new generation of cattle, and the crisis is generally considered to have passed...
...PETERSBURG, Florida: Southern supermarket chain Publix will pay $81.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by 150,000 women accusing the company of discrimination by promoting men and leaving women in low-paying jobs.
