...heads the U.S. government's fisheries service at the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Hogarth blames lax European government enforcement - the E.U. has only 25 fishing inspectors to monitor national inspection procedures all across Europe - and the eagerness of poor North African countries to join the global tuna trade. "It's like a poor man's Lotto," Hogarth says. "I've seen one tuna sell for $60,000." Despite such sums, prices on Europe's docksides have plummeted from about €10 per kg five years ago to as little as half that today. Paradoxically...
...strikes against Lebanon have provoked Shi'ite radicals in Iraq, who are threatening to attack U.S. troops in retaliation. The most chilling scenario is that the Israeli-Lebanese dispute could grow into a wider war, if Hizballah's backers in Iran or Syria decide or are provoked to join the fray--a possibility that grew when Israeli intelligence claimed on Saturday that Iranian forces helped Hizballah fighters hit an Israeli ship off the coast of Beirut, killing one sailor.

...with scores by some pretty sharp tunesmiths: Harold Rome (Sing Out the News), Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein (Very Warm for May ), Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (Higher and Higher) and Cole Porter (Panama Hattie). In three of those shows she shared stage space with Vera Ellen, who would join Allyson in MGM musicals; in another she played with Eve Arden, who'd supply comic vinegar to Allyson's sugar in '40s Hollywood...
...bode well for future enrollees or just those looking to change their plans. Though seniors had until May 15 to enroll without penalty in a Medicare drug plan, which proved to be a daunting task for many of the 16.4 million who did, millions of others have yet to join the program - and many low-income seniors can still do so without a penalty. From Nov. 15 to Dec. 31, the elderly who are already signed up can switch plans during the open enrollment period. Each state has 40 to 50 different plans to choose from, and each insurance company...
