...There is also a more nefarious possibility: label fraud, something the industry's umbrella group, Cashmere & Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute, takes very seriously. Karl Spilhaus, the group's president, approaches the task of uncovering ersatz cashmere as soberly as an old-master specialist does in debunking fake Rembrandts. He has brought suit against stores for selling products labeled "100% cashmere" that he claims are in fact mere blends...
...Kerry is primed for this line of attack. He has had many years not just to refine his political philosophy but also to explain it in a way voters might accept and with luck even admire. Throw the Latte Liberal label at him, and Kerry will counter with his support for faith-based programs and welfare reform and the fact that he proposed a dividend tax cut long before Bush did.

...cases resulting in death. Bristol-Myers announced in 2002 that it would stop selling the drug in the Netherlands and Sweden, and eventually withdrew it from all of Europe and Canada. The FDA's only response in the U.S. has been to require a black-box warning on the label, stating in part, "Cases of life-threatening hepatic failure have been reported in patients treated with Serzone." Over the past few years, the FDA has banned more than half a dozen drugs that it had earlier approved because the drugs turned out to have an unacceptable degree of fatal side...
