...Wapato, executive director of the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA), urged the audience not to think of permissibility Native American casinos as a "loop hole in the law," but as a boon for both destitute tribes and the communities in which the casinos are built...
...announcing its intention to end direct service on the 90-mile branch line that includes Hyder and Phoenix. The sabotage, went the theory, could have been the revenge of a soon-to-be-jobless railroad worker. But that hypothesis, too, has flaws: rail-union officials say dropping the Phoenix loop would be unlikely to jeopardize the jobs of Amtrak or Southern Pacific workers.

...blood factor that makes fat mice thin. But they are still trying to puzzle out just how it works. Friedman, for one, believes leptin is almost certainly a hormone that travels through the bloodstream to act on the brain.

The pinball machine in his office kept people coming by -- "and helped keep me in the loop," Carney concedes. "He's temperamental and a bit nuts," says Andy Card, who was Bush's Transportation Secretary, "but he defines action. He gets things done." After Bush's '92 loss to Clinton, which Carney says he has "almost completely repressed," he was instrumental in the G.O.P.'s brilliant...
