...Nishi Azabu apartment to smoke the drug, our talk turned to grandiose plans and sure-fire schemes. I spoke of articles I would write. Delphine talked about landing a job doing a Dior lingerie catalog. Miki raved about a promising noise band he had just signed. Sometimes the dealer, a lanky fellow named Haru, would hang around and smoke with us and we would be convinced that his future was surely just as bright as all of ours. There was no limit to what we could do, especially if we put our speed-driven minds to work...
While Clinton maintains he has no regrets for what he did, others have been compelled to say they are sorry for their contribution to the collateral damage: Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles, for lobbying for Clinton's pardon of a Democratic donor's drug-dealer son; Morgan Stanley chairman Philip J.

The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans, by his calculations, would reap 43 perent of the Bush tax cut, while families making less than $39,300 would...
...road, nobody in the car had been drinking, Bailey was wearing her seat belt, and the vehicle's Firestone tires were not involved in the original recall. Bailey, whose annual medical costs will reach $600,000, is seeking millions in damages from Ford, Firestone and the car dealer for gross negligence and malice. Ford has already settled 25 tire-related injury and death claims. But a flurry of last-minute negotiations last week failed to produce a settlement in the Bailey case. A Ford spokesman says they will go to trial if no agreement is reached...
