...even hardy jarheads. One Marine wannabe's temple, for example, bore tattoos of bullet holes with blood oozing from them (he didn't get in). Another recruit sported a naked woman (he was barred until he had a bathing suit tattooed upon her). Recruiters are forwarding snapshots of dubious tattoos to senior officers for their approval before the wearers are allowed into the Marines. The issue took a serious turn following the March 5 murder of a Marine lieutenant colonel at Camp Pendleton, California, allegedly by a sergeant under his command. The suspect has a tattooed teardrop coming...
...Hatch-Hansen bill threatens to damage Utah's economy. On one hand, the mining sector employs only about one percent of Utah's work force, a number which is expected to decline even if this legislation is passed. The economic viability of mineral reserves in the desert wilderness is dubious due to huge extraction costs. On the other hand, the tourism industry has increased 42 percent in the past 15 years, with earnings rising 62 percent. Furthermore, current mining plans will result in 92-foot long double trailer trucks rumbling through Southern Utah every five minutes, 24 hours...

White House visitor logs show that Mrs. Clinton met last August with a lawyer, Alston Jennings, one of whose clients was involved in the dubious Castle Grande land deal, for which Mrs. Clinton had done legal work. Republicans say the meeting is suspicious because it occurred around the same time that the billing records first turned up in the White House residence...

For Dole, it is a painful reprise of 1988, when he was beaten back by George Bush, another patrician playing the populist and making dubious promises about taxes. "Dole spent 35 years on the public payroll and became a multimillionaire," Forbes teases lethally in Iowa. "But I won't use the class-warfare argument against him." A tough, genial and private man, Steve Forbes has surely known his share of sorrow. But it is hard...
