...address to fire the opening round in what will be Topic 1 in Washington this week: Social Security, and what to do with all that extra cash. On the table from the White House: a detailed version of his plan to use the $760 billion Social Security surplus to pay down the national debt, then use the money from reduced interest payments to restock the retirement fund. And to get Republians to play ball, Clinton's dropping his push to have the government invest 15 percent of the fund in the stock market. That's not much of a concession...

Investigative journalists breathed a collective sigh of relief Wednesday when a federal appeals court ruled that ABC won?t have to pay supermarket chain Food Lion a substantial damage award after all. The decision reverses a verdict that had been seen as a significant erosion of First Amendment rights. At issue was a 1992 "Primetime Live" expos? of unsanitary Food Lion practices such as bleaching old meat to cover its odor and re-dating foods. A North Carolina jury awarded Food Lion $5.5 million (later reduced to $350,000), reasoning that although the allegations were true, the undercover methods used...
