Indeed, Fieger might be Michigan's fastest-rising Democrat, but he sometimes sounds more like "shock jock" Howard Stern. From disarming candor ("Sure, I smoked marijuana. And I inhaled. I'm not a liar like Clinton") to mean-spirited jabs (his favorite: Engler is the "product of miscegenation between barnyard animals and humans"), Fieger has spent his career making waves and lambasting virtually anyone who disagrees with him. "He's too quick. He's too unscrupulous, and he's too feisty," sniffs University of Michigan law professor Yale Kamisar, an expert on assisted suicide who has endured more than...

"We're getting into a normal production situation," says Ron Woodard, president of Boeing's commercial-airplane group...
...before a DC Court of Appeals panel without all the supportive facts the Justice Department would have liked: weeks of hearings, stacks of documents, testimony from a bevy of experts. Assembling that mountain of evidence would have taken far too much time when suing one of the world's fastest-moving companies, the government decided. "They took a risk in asking for the injunction and they knew that the factual foundation for the request was going to be very austere. They took a chance.
