...once today?s party ends, Athens will confront the Herculean challenge of financing the preparations for the Olympiad at the same time as the country undertakes austerity measures necessary to qualify for European Monetary Union. ?The organizers have adopted a Spartan $1.7 billion budget, saying they reject the over-commercialization of the Games,? says Carassava. ?But it remains to be seen whether they?ll manage to stay within that budget and not add to the burden of an already cash-strapped city.? Because as many previous host cities can testify, from a financial angle hosting the Games can be something...
...Mormons reject the label polytheistic pinned on them by other Christians; they believe that humans deal with only one God. Yet they allow for other deities presiding over other worlds. Smith stated that God was once a humanlike being who had a wife and in fact still has a body of "flesh and bones." Mormons also believe that men, in a process known as deification, may become God-like. Lorenzo Snow, an early President and Prophet, famously aphorized, "As man is now, God once was; as God now is, man may become." Mormonism excludes original sin, whose expiation most Christians...
That's smart, because local rivals like Chicago-based Ameritech (1996 sales: $14.9 billion) are getting ready to join the race too. While the Justice Department recommended that regulators reject Ameritech's application to provide long-distance service in June, Justice said the company had satisfied 11 of 14 requirements for opening its market.

...minds of the Russian people," said senior communist Viktor Ilyukhin, chair of the Duma security committee, "in fact as a means to control the people." The law has human rights activists squealing, not to mention Pope John Paul II, who called personally on Yeltsin earlier this week to reject a law that is aimed squarely at his upstart Russian flock. Even Congress has gotten serious, passing legislation Thursday that would withhold $200 million in U.S. aid if the bill is signed into law. But that $200 million carrot may have precisely the opposite effect. Yeltsin endures constant carping that...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Former FDA head David Kessler went to the White House today to press his recommendation the Administration reject the $368.5 billion settlement between Big Tobacco and the state attorneys general because the deal would limit the government's power to regulate nicotine as an addictive drug. A Congressional commission headed by Kessler and former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, which had indicated its serious misgivings about the settlement two weeks ago, presented Al Gore with its recommendations for making the deal work. Especially upsetting to the Koop-Kessler commission is a provision forbidding a nicotine...
