...Toronto--Signed the Katy Rocket, Roger Clemens. He won a national championship in 1983 for the University of Texas (I had to slip in a Longhorns reference sometime; it's in my job description). He is an addition to an already great starting rotation. Offense, other than Joe Carter could be a problem...
That is precisely why jubilant anti-smoking forces applauded a remarkable string of confessions by the Liggett Group last week as the straw that could finally break Joe Camel's back. The admissions, made to end Liggett's role as a defendant in 22 state lawsuits against the five largest U.S. tobacco companies, offered an unprecedented peek at some dirty little secrets inside Liggett and, by implication, the rest of the $45 billion tobacco industry...

Inside the agency, a rift developed between Jackson...
...calling on the NRC to suspend Millstone's license if Northeast racks up more safety violations. These skeptics believe the NRC's new vigilance is mostly for show. As evidence, they point to a February working lunch between Northeast's Kenyon and the NRC's new executive director, Joe Callen. According to a Northeast memo describing the meeting, Callen told Kenyon that "the overwhelming concern of the NRC is that [it does] not become an obstacle to restart"--a troubling concept to those who believe safety should be the chief concern. Kenyon says the memo is misleading because it "fails...
