...money. He finished fourth in New Hampshire, with 5.3% of the vote; if he falls below 10% again in Vermont's nonbinding "beauty contest" primary on Tuesday, his federal matching funds by law would be cut off 30 days later. That date is distant enough to permit Jackson to continue campaigning full-tilt through the important March primaries and caucuses in Southern states where blacks constitute a large proportion of the Democratic turnout.

Traditionally, lower courts have afforded labor contracts various degrees of deference. But in their decision last week, the Justices made it clear that such protection is limited. The goal of Chapter 11, wrote Justice William H. Rehnquist, is to permit a company's "successful rehabilitation." Consequently, a business need not prove that it is in danger of imminent collapse in order...
Last week Quaker Oats learned that South Carolina had found its Flako corn-muffin mix had more EDB than federal guidelines permit. "We're not happy about it," said Ron Bottrell, a worried Quaker Oats spokesman. "This was our first product to be found out of compliance anywhere." In Ohio, Minnesota and North Dakota, General Mills voluntarily took Bisquick off the shelves, while South Carolina and Alabama recalled the company's Betty Crocker white-cake mixes...
