...insurer agreed to reinstate my policy and pay for the biopsy, and I thought I had escaped one nightmare. But then the company rejected more of my medical claims.

I believe the insurer used the condition as an excuse to reject my coverage. The company argued that I had been dishonest by not disclosing the condition. The argument...

Except, that is, for a little film called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?something Shu Qi is still trying to live down...

When President Clinton first made those the focus of his thinking on Kyoto, the Europeans rejected that and demanded that the focus be on capping output. But it seems that once they're looking at the monies involved, they're more inclined to be more flexible in how they'd pursue the Kyoto targets. Of course, if they'd been more open to such mechanisms earlier, they...
