...decision pushes Simpson's potential financial obligation to a whopping $33.5 million. That's significantly more than the $15.7 million the plaintiffs had asked for, and left Simpson lawyers swearing that there was no way their client could ever pay up. Whether or not he does will first depend on Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki, who has 110 days to approve or reduce the amount of the award. Unlike Tuesday's unanimous verdict, the jury split 11 to 1 on whether the Goldmans and Browns should receive punitive damages and 10 to 2 on the amount to be paid. Jurors reached...
...fantastically wealthy "non-profit" corporation can easily keep workers like Hickey without sacrificing the future of the University. Harvard should face up to the truth--it is unnecessarily hoarding cash at the expense of people, like Hickey, who depend on the money for their livelihood. When the current students graduate and are hounded by Harvard for contributions, they should reflect upon its insatiable greed, and they should give their money to a worthier cause. The technically proficient, mindless automatons running this University, and not Joe Hickey, should be offered severance...
...laws have the greatest interest in not changing them. Arizona Republican John McCain and Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold have been hollering in the wilderness for two years, trying to persuade their fellow Senators to clean up the system. They would ban the unlimited soft-money contributions that both parties depend on (more than $250 million, a historic record, last year) and reward candidates who abide by voluntary spending limits...
...President is serious, it will not be enough for him to slip an ad for reform into his speeches. Among opponents of the bill are some of Clinton's strongest backers--and those on whom Al Gore will depend when he starts running for President the day after tomorrow. The teachers' unions, for example, contributed about $5 million last year to the Democratic cause. If Clinton is serious, he will need to persuade his allies that opposing reform is not in the nation's interests and to back off. If he is really serious, he may yield to Republican demands...
...movies (The Lost Weekend, Days of Wine and Roses, The Man with the Golden Arm) didn't need government rehab to shake the monkey off their backs. Part of the joke here is that Spoon and Stretch, who are less performance artists than petty criminals, suffer from welfare-state dependency. And in Michigan, this is the wrong state to depend on. Public servants are ignorant or lazy or just plain crazy. But Spoon and Stretch aren't your ideal victims. Their signature act of social aggression is to smoke cigarettes in government offices. Their way of bonding...
