...about the equality of opportunity, about integrity and morality in the workplace, are in Professor Anita Hill's debt," said Clinton, a corporate lawyer. Hill received an award from the A.B.A. and a standing ovation from the crowd. Later in the week, the A.B.A. voted to fight laws that restrict a woman's right to an abortion; the group also allowed the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association to join...
...team finish was followed by no higher than a 19th-place finish in the all-around. None of this came as much of a surprise, despite optimistic precompetition talk of a bronze medal. Most of the top U.S. male gymnasts are college students who abide by NCAA guidelines that restrict their training to 20 hours a week, roughly half the practice time of their main challengers. The American women, by contrast, are mostly still in high school and train in private gyms where no restrictions apply. Their discipline and dedication earned them a team bronze in a well-fought battle...
America's array of often contradictory trade restrictions are a major obstacle to raising its standard of living and strengthening its competitiveness, according to a study by economist James Bovard for the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis.

Despite efforts to eliminate quotas, more than 3,000 of them restrict foreign apparel and textiles, adding $40 billion to U.S. clothing...
...cable industry, which fears being run over by its much larger rivals, immediately attacked the FCC order. Cable companies complain that phone carriers can compete unfairly by drawing on ratepayer funds to subsidize new TV ventures and using their monopoly over local telephone lines to restrict access from competitors. Although the FCC vowed to guard against such practices, skeptics point out that the agency's resources are too limited for it to do so. Critics also note that any gains consumers realize from lower cable prices could be more than offset by the $100 billion to $500 billion they...
...look at it, I've got more budget cuts in my budget than Bush has advocated. Bush has expanded parts of the government that I recommended restricting, including total federal employment. I want a leaner bureaucracy and more investment. Most of that will go into private hands. If you build roads and bridges and high-speed rail networks, that money winds up being spent on contracts in the private sector. I've always supported increased investment targeted to areas that would promote economic growth and education, but I've tried to restrict the growth of what you might call...
