...This moment has been a long time coming: European women have had access to RU-486 for 12 years, but attempts to import the drug to the United States have been stymied internally by contentious debate. And even when the Clinton administration lifted a ban on importing the controversial drug in 1993, the French manufacturer declined to distribute the pill here, citing the explosive political undercurrents...

The program picked up on their...

The peacock network is momentarily without feathers--and so desperate that it seems ready to import Chains of Love, a "funny" bondage-and-dating show that was a flop when it was shown this spring on Dutch...
