...frail 86-year-old father, whom he puts his arm around, happy that he's come from Florida to keep Morris company. He's willing to talk (of course), but not about Eileen, because he doesn't "want to intrude on her interview." He's promised to protect her privacy...
Britain's problems began in 1986, when a BSE epidemic struck herds across the country, ultimately leading to the death of up to 1,000 cows a week. To protect the food supply, the government ordered the slaughter of affected cattle and banned the sale of cow brains, intestines and other offal, thought to be the organs likeliest to harbor the disease. And in 1988 it halted the practice of feeding cattle the remains of diseased sheep, which is where the infection is believed to have started. But by that time the damage was done...
...million tons in the 1950s to more than 85 million tons by the end of the 1980s, but the harvest has been shrinking throughout this decade. The declines are not simply a result of overfishing, but also of practices that destroy the ocean-floor habitats that feed and protect schools of commercial fish.

Migrating fish, such as salmon, are caught before they can spawn, thus killing their progeny as well. This one-two punch has contributed to the endangerment...

Privacy is the issue, when parents and schools confront children with demands for urine samples so that they can be tested for drug use. Moreover, professional testers say that idiosyncrasies in sampling time or diet could...
...quietly, in the legal arena, Clinton has pinned his hopes on a more cautious strategy: asserting that the Constitution protects sitting Presidents from having to answer civil lawsuits. Clinton v. Jones, which is being argued in the Supreme Court this week, promises to be the most important "presidential privilege" case since the court ordered Nixon to hand over the Watergate tapes, despite his claims of confidentiality, because they were needed for a criminal prosecution. And it is shaping up to be a virtual must-win legal battle for Clinton, who is asking the Supreme Court to move beyond existing precedents...
