...Despite Clinton's sunny win-win beliefs, environmental interests often clash directly with those of business. And while American labor rails against sweatshop conditions in developing countries and gets the President's sympathy, many of those sweatshops are actually manufacturing goods for American corporations...

...Yeah, especially King Tubby, that kind of stuff. The Clash, of course. And then I kind of took a step back from what I think of as guitar-based music, when hip-hop started to kick off and got into that and then techno and a lot of electronic music. Kraftwerk were massive influences. I got into Detroit techno, especially early Detroit techno, Chicago house, and then I think it got a bit lame, it got a bit boring, and it got a bit obvious, and that's when I started going back to guitar-based stuff and Jesus...

...world is getting a crash course in international trade this week as it ponders the clash of visions and interests at the meetings of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle.

...balance of the 19th century, the Harvard-Yale game represented the clash of the two strongest teams around. Despite outscoring opponents by the likes of season marks of 765 to 41, 660 to 23, and 588 to 26, Yale beat Harvard in all but two of their meetings through the turn of the century. In 1892, the Crimson introduced the controversial and soon-to-be-outlawed flying wedge offense, creating havoc for the Yale defense. Also, though the Harvard Faculty had backed off, the roughness of the game continued; strong but weaker-than-Yale Harvard teams compensated for their inferiority...
