Some of the big champagne houses are looking a little farther north for their next harvest--across the English Channel.

"With such temperatures you could make a Burgundy or Bordeaux, rather than champagne," he says. Today southern England has roughly the same climate that Champagne did 25 years ago--and the same chalky soil in those famous...

Edwards is right to raise the red flag over Clinton's successes in milking the health care, insurance, defense and other rancid lobbying sectors for contributions - although Edwards is no boy scout, given his history as a hedge-fund rainmaker and his closeness to the trial...
