In Washington the European Union delivered a formal protest to the State Department. In Brussels the European Commission proposed making it illegal for companies to comply with Helms-Burton and easing the way for firms to countersue in European courts. The commission is preparing a blacklist of U.S. companies and citizens that file suits against European firms, and threatens to refuse them visas. The E.U. insists that both U.S. actions are against international law and is challenging them...

Devers, who thus becomes the first man or woman since Wyomia Tyus in '64 and '68 to repeat in the 100, was quick to bank her joy with concern for the loved ones of the people injured and killed in the blast at Olympic Park...
...animal-rights protest to this activity was almost too faint for anyone but a marketing manager to hear, but faintly is how these issues begin. It may be only a matter of time before everyone will have to take a stand on deceased animals. Is it respectful, for instance, for Roy Rogers to display his horse Trigger stuffed in a noble pose but disrespectful for Torrington to display a stuffed gopher robbing a bank?
