...your company is a villain in one of history?s greatest public health disasters, it?s simply good business to flog yourself as painlessly and as publicly as possible ? before someone else does. That's what appears to have happened Tuesday when, in a stunning admission of the obvious, Philip Morris acknowledged that cigarette smoking isn?t safe, that cigarettes are addictive and that those who indulge are far more likely to develop certain kinds of cancer than nonsmokers. The tobacco giant?s web site, while still sprinkled liberally with friendly references to its Marlboro brand, now hosts a page...
...feud - instead of admitting that he and his dad were simply prime political targets for the disgruntled - is not the best way for a rich kid to combat a sense of entitlement. Still, Bush's electoral analysis is right on - that's why he also took a moment to flog Donald Trump for the Reform nod, and bash Buchanan's "revisionist history about WWII" for good measure.

Van Morrison succeeds in adapting his music to the times while still maintaining a consistency with the folk-blues sound for which he is famous. Brian R. Walsh
...dinner. Women in the streets peddle rings and bracelets to help pay rent; children beg everywhere, offering a few pathetic sticks of incense or just a sad look on their haggard faces. Middle-class families long ago sold off their television sets, rugs and extra clothes; now they flog basic necessities like bedsteads and chairs. One grimy apartment overlooking Martyrs Square contains nothing but blankets on the floor, one chair and a hot plate. Only the superrich can afford the 11 types of condiments and Uncle Ben's rice at the upscale supermarket...
