...Your article on hip-hop was just amazing! You hit it right on the head. I appreciate the fact that hip-hop music and its importance are being recognized. I hope your report will help the older generation understand hip-hop for the first time and accept it. Hip-hop is the music of the present and the future. LAWRENCE CHUNG, 17 Burlington...
...focus of your report was very narrow, concentrating on the trade war that concerns only the 13% of worldwide banana production that is exported. The real banana war is the one that concerns the more than half a billion people in developing countries of the tropics, for whom different types of bananas are a staple food crop. In this war, people are battling the diseases and pests that are becoming more and more rampant.

...report published last week, Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing-home operator, clarified rumors that have been circulating for years. She contends that in 1978 Bill Clinton, who was then the Arkansas attorney general, forced himself on her. At the time, she was a 35-year-old volunteer in his campaign for Governor.

(She now says she wanted to avoid the glare of publicity.) She recanted that affidavit in an interview last year with Ken Starr's investigators, but would not describe details of the alleged attack. Starr made little mention of her in his report to Congress, saying her account...
...want the IRS on your case. The agency can and does garnish wages and place liens against or confiscate property. A credit-card company is a pussycat by comparison. Sometimes it will simply write you off as a cost of doing business and place a blot on your credit report. At worst, it will hand off your debt to a collection agency, which can plead and annoy but not confiscate. And should you file for bankruptcy, the first debts a judge discharges are often those related to credit cards. Tax bills almost never get forgiven...
