...Attorney General Webster Hubbell, this time on 15 felony counts of fraud and perjury. At least at the outset it looked like serial killing of the same victim. For years Starr has been putting the squeeze on Hubbell in the hope of getting him to give up something about either the President or Hillary Clinton, who was Hubbell's law partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., in the 1980s. Hubbell has already served 18 months in prison after pleading guilty four years ago to charges that he cheated his law partners at Rose. No sooner...

...responded well to Western treatments. They divided them into three groups and sent each group to a Chinese herbalist, who wrote each patient an individualized prescription based on his or her complaints. Each prescription was then filled at a different location, where patients were randomly given pills that contained either a placebo of flavored compounds that tasted like herbs but had no medicinal effects, a standardized extract of 20 herbs designed to support bowel function in general, or the individually prescribed herbs. After 16 weeks of treatment, the two groups that received herbal medicines had fewer symptoms and less pain...

When government distributes handouts to select companies, someone else pays, either in higher taxes or in reduced services. Among the nation's most innocent victims: children who attend public schools. In some Louisiana parishes (counties), 20% or more of the industrial property taxes goes to education.

Everyday, many of them face some or all of these afflictions: rat bites...

...Good Morning America even before Joan and Charlie left, and now, well, suffice it to say I get out of the house a lot earlier than I used to. I can't say I really care for Dharma, and I don't know what Greg sees in her either. If it weren't for Monday Night Football, I'd be short one network altogether...

...banal (Memorial Stadium) to the picturesque (Candlestick Park) to the fall-down-weeping-in-the-face-of-true-nomenclatural-greatness (the Polo Grounds). What stadium names haven't been is brand names. But that's changed. San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium has become Qualcomm Stadium, which is either a communications company or a powerful nighttime cold medicine, depending on whom you ask. The Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis is now the RCA Dome, which no doubt annoyed the city's pilfered Baltimore Colts, who had already changed their letterhead once and would probably prefer not to do it again...
