...rebut its critics, the Administration is emphasizing its policies to clean the air and slow global warming. Bush plans to spend Earth Day in the Adirondacks, trumpeting policies that don't fit the environmentalists' caricature of him--such as EPA's decision to make General Electric pay almost $500 million to clean up the Hudson River. His defenders argue that environmentalists tend to be a misanthropic lot. "For many people, you can never do enough," EPA boss Christie Whitman told TIME. Indeed, the League of Conservation Voters, which in February gave Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney a grade...
...tabloid hoping to cash in on a rerun is likely to be disappointed. If the O.J. case was a feature film fit for the multiplex, this is a straight-to-video rental. True, there is seamy intrigue. Bakley was a confessed celebrity stalker who sent nude pictures of herself to lonely men to solicit money. But there is no racial component in the case. Blake and Bakley's marriage never had the passion of Nicole Brown and Simpson's early days. Blake married Bakley only after she had a baby (Rose, now nearly 2) and a DNA test proved...
...city of Nablus are quieter, accompanied by imprecise reports of "tens of martyrs." The silently rolling footage reveals corpses in every conceivable state: lying in pools of blood, eyes still open in the frozen glance before death, contorted in stairwells, stacked up on shelves, wrapped in floral blankets, awkwardly fit into body bags with limbs poking out, dumped into trucks, lined up in rows of white bags on a dirt road...
...refuses to concern itself with the finances of factories, with their competitiveness, with Germany as a location for doing business, with the unemployed looking for jobs or even with those who are about to become jobless." IG Metall's power lies in its ability to negotiate a one-size-fits-all labor contract for the entire country. The current talks in Baden-Württemburg will eventually lead to a pilot contract, which will then be applied to employees in other regions covered by metalworkers' contracts. The average metalworker already earns about $2,500 a month, works a 35-hour...
...That note fit in rather neatly with the one-word recovery forecast that's been settling on the tongues of investors all week: anemic. Alan Greenspan is largely responsible, writing in the Wednesday-released "beige book" that yes, the recovery was coming, but it might not be anything spectacular. The lack of business spending is particularly worrisome, the consumers' part hard to take for granted, the labor market still "slack" (meaning unemployment may stay up for a while). Energy costs are staying up, and manufacturers' willingness to upgrade their equipment remains limited...
