...appellate court (not waiting, as it normally would, for the case to hit the Supreme Court). A few months later, it quietly removed from a government website information saying that abortions do not increase the risk of breast cancer. (A replacement fact sheet suggests a possible link, though major studies turn up no evidence for one.) Last March the Administration made fetuses eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program, keying off the antiabortion groups' strategy of establishing "fetal rights" as a way of eventually undermining Roe.

For its part, the English Football Association Premier League - which currently forbids artificial surfaces - is waiting on research that rules out any link between the new pitches and player injuries. Despite initial installation costing upwards of €375,000 for a synthetic field, compared with €140,000 for grass, the increased usage and much-reduced maintenance costs can make the switch a bargain. In U.S. high schools, teams that have the new synthetic grass...
...company that wants to build the new Tennessee enrichment plant is called Louisiana Energy Services. A consortium of US and foreign companies in which URENCO has a major financial role, LES insists that the link between URENCO and nuclear proliferation is "long ago and far-fetched at this point". URENCO itself has denied authorizing leaks of technology to rogue states...
