...This fungus is in the same family as mushrooms though it sounds like a cousin to the stuff that causes athlete's foot. But last month the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington group sometimes dubbed the Food Police, asked the FDA and the E.U. to restrict Marlow from describing Quorn as mushroom-like. ("Not all fungi are mushrooms," the group intones.) Days before its complaint, however, CSPI's testers gave Quorn a "Best Bites" award. They acknowledged--we're not making this up--that it tastes like chicken...
...year. Rival manufacturers Diebold and Fujitsu are also talking up Web-enabled machines. But all agree the ATM experience will be narrowly tailored to keep the line moving, limiting customers' choices to, say, a couple of flower arrangements or a short list of CDs. The new platforms can also restrict activities at certain times--for example, to prevent people from filling out loan applications at 5 p.m. on payday. Ray Gilmore, 16, recently tried to cash his first paycheck at an ATM in a 7-Eleven in Austin, Texas. After spending several minutes trying to sign up for the service...

The bill will forbid political organizations from airing “issue ads” for 60 days preceding elections. Presumably, this rule will effectively prevent large unions and corporations from excessively bashing those candidates who oppose their interests...
Contributions to political campaigns are clearly a mode of speech—money sponsors candidates who express and represent the views and ideas of their contributors. Just because some individuals disagree with what contributions are used to say, there is no legitimate reason to restrict the protection of speech guaranteed under the First Amendment. A provision of the new reform places restrictions on a group’s ability to broadcast commercials that mention candidates within 60 days of election. This rule diminishes the ability of political groups to express their views through advertisements. For example...
