...that was one reason the agendas ran so thick and fast last week, as protectionist unions and corporate spin doctors and politicians and consumers saw 20 years' worth of exploitation boil down into one week's news. Labor Secretary Robert Reich skillfully recruited Gifford to the cause--offering absolution if she would become a watchdog. Reich argues that more than half the 22,000 U.S. garment contractors pay less than the minimum wage; working conditions are often appalling. He has about 800 inspectors to police them all, which is why public outrage comes in handy. "Consumer pressure is vitally important...
...morning, investors were panicking. The Dow Jones plummeted by more than 85 points in the first half hour of trading on fears that the Federal Reserve would boost interest rates to ward off inflation. (The market rebounded later in the day, closing up nearly 30 points.) Labor Secretary Robert Reich, whose department released the new figures, criticized Wall Street's dim view: "This isn't the first time that Main Street has celebrated, and Wall Street has despaired.

Snow, a conservative newspaper columnist, is a competent but colorless interviewer, and the show is loaded with superfluous gimmicks (questions from viewers sent over the Internet; clips from old Fox Movietone newsreels). Overall, the program--forced to broadcast from various locations around Washington while a permanent studio...
...shame if at least one of the figures in the memorial did not show him as a man who had a disability...a courageous man who had infantile paralysis and still led our nation." Last week, on one of his furtive visits to Washington, Bush summoned Deland and Alan Reich, president of the disability organization, to his guest quarters on Jackson Place, across the street from the White House. In those shadowy old chambers where so much of our early history played out, Bush sat down with his two friends in wheelchairs and said, "We've got to keep this...
