...community service and no experience as an elected official, Rappaport has only made the race close by pouring no less than four million dollars of his own money into his campaign. Most of these dollars have gone towards negative commercials against Kerry--many of which are based on outright lies and deliberate distortions. For example, Rappaport has claimed that Kerry met with known "terrorist" Guillerma Unga on a trip to Central America--a claim disputed by top officials from both the Bush administration and Congress. Rappaport's ads also imply that Kerry has never sponsored successful legislation--a blatant distortion...
Ironically, it was Brown which tied Penn last Sunday, giving the Crimson a shot at an outright title...
...drive to promote the Japanese-inspired team concept at its plants has often been greeted with suspicion, if not outright hostility, and many line workers cling resolutely to the Old World: a rigid, adversarial system characterized by strict seniority rules and a crippling multiplicity of job classifications. The result is a patchwork of different systems among GM plants, many of which are light-years behind the highly efficient Buick City factory in Flint, Mich., where the Buick LeSabre is produced.

Legislators adopted the program by a vote of 333 to 12 (with 34 abstentions) but remained unsure as to exactly what the plan would accomplish. Still, the scheme's preamble sets a clear objective. While making a token half-nod to Marx...
...Camargo, a former henchman of Manuel Noriega's, has told U.S. investigators that he met with Castro in February 1988 to plan resistance to any attack. Fidel suggested arming and training thousands of Panamanians into "dignity battalions," which were formed prior to the attack. Castro did not envision an outright victory over U.S. forces but a stalemate that would embarrass the superpower and last long enough to allow for a U.N.-mediated cease-fire, presumably with Noriega still in power. As good as his word, Castro dispatched a sizable arsenal to Panama, including an estimated 100,000 assault rifles. What...
