...percent. And that was before Lazio officially jumped into the nationally watched U.S. Senate race Saturday night with a hometown-boy-makes-good rally in the gym of West Islip High School on Long Island, where Lazio graduated in 1976. Then Lazio, with New York Republicans from Gov. George Pataki to former rival Rep. Peter King closing ranks behind him, went about raising his political Q rating in the usual way: He appeared on all five Sunday talk shows and flashed his New York pedigree almost as often as his teeth...
...numbers ceiling. "Clinton is dealing with an anti-Hillary, anti-Clinton vote that could limit her numbers," says TIME New York correspondent Elaine Rivera.

Today she is fighting another former partner, millionaire financier Wilbur Ross, whom she married in 1995 and is now divorcing. At the center of their dispute is her claim that she was forced to sign a document that is suddenly becoming an accessory to many modern marriages: a postnuptial agreement. That's right--after the vows, not before...
...prove that cigarettes are defective. Many products are dangerous without being defective. The same arguments made about the fire hazard of cigarettes could be made about candles, but we don't hear that very often." Still, it's a sure bet that when, as expected, New York governor George Pataki signs off on the measure, other states will soon follow. Nobody, except for a few politicians in a few tobacco-growing states, wants to look soft on cigarette makers these days...
