...been working. He and his consultant, the reclusive Arthur Finkelstein, like to brand opponents as hopelessly, shamelessly, endlessly liberal, but Schumer supports the death penalty and wrote the 1994 Crime Bill, which put 100,000 cops on the beat, so the charge hasn't stuck. Schumer has authored major gun-control legislation (the Brady Bill and the assault-weapon ban), and he supports campaign-finance reform and abortion rights, both popular positions in New York. D'Amato toes the N.R.A. line, opposed campaign-finance reform--he's a notorious arm-twisting fund raiser--and has voted 94 times to restrict...
When asked if there were any patrons who were obviously unsafe. Kevin's reply was rather oblique and less than reassuring, "Well, you can be absolutely sure that if they own their own gun, they can't have served time in prison or been in a mental institution." He did cite one case of a man who was thrown out for continuing to shoot as employees were walking down range.

The surprise mail was produced with a flourish during the cross-examination of Jim Barksdale; Netscape's current...
...introduce evidence of other philandering presidents into an impeachment inquiry -- interesting, perhaps even mitigating, but ultimately irrelevant. Microsoft's attorneys would like to throw the spotlight on equally dubious business practices elsewhere in the software industry, and this is by no means their last attempt. But this smoking gun, at least, is simply blowing smoke...
