...subpoenaed some 24,000 hiring records and identified 4,700 people with discrepancies at 40 processing plants. It then called for further documentation to verify the workers' status. Nebraska was seen as just the first step. Plans were in the works to launch similar probes in other states where large numbers of illegals were known to be employed in the meat-packing industry. But the INS never got the chance. A huge outcry in Nebraska from meat-packers, Hispanic groups, farmers, community organizations, local politicians and the state's congressional delegation forced the INS to back...
...Weinberger's push to spend - along with his disdain for arms control - led the military to launch dozens of programs that the nation never could afford to build. To make his case, he began publishing yearbooks entitled Soviet Military Power.

In a separate speech to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences yesterday, the outgoing president said the University “is beginning to take some steps” in the formation of a Harvard institute dedicated to developing methods of evaluating...
...there?s a reason no Senator has won the Presidency since John F. Kennedy. The Senate offers a vehicle to launch many policy ideas, but also forces candidates to declare their views on nearly everything, defend the residents of the states that put them in the Senate and be a team player with their colleagues. And that?s a tricky balance. Even while proposing lots of bills to combat spending, McCain late last year proposed $2 million to create a center at an Arizona law school in honor of former Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, which some have derided...
