...forward and testify that he transported drugs aboard Tyson airplanes. Nobody has followed through with the threat, which Henrickson reported to the FBI, even though Henrickson has appealed his case. Other Tyson pilots dismiss the drug-running charge against Henrickson as preposterous. Henrickson believes the threat was intended to scare him away from talking about the alleged deliveries to Clinton. He claims he's being blacklisted in the industry, a fate he says his former colleagues might suffer if they backed him up. "It's easy to control people who don't know where their next house payment is coming...
...petition to take Prozac off the market, and an FDA panel found "no credible evidence" of a link between the drug and violent behavior. In 56 criminal cases, defendants who tried the Prozac-made-me-do-it defense have been equally unsuccessful. But a verdict against Prozac might, unfortunately, scare patients off the best available medicine, says Louisville psychiatrist Dr. David Moore.

...White House is studying the Truman experience." A few months ago, in fact, it seemed that the entire Administration was reading David McCullough's Pulitzer-winning biography Truman.

His favorite gambit was to claim at nearly every stop that Republicans wanted to cut the benefits of Social Security recipients by $2,000 each. However improbable -- and hypocritical, since Clinton...
Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen, who has jurisdiction over the Secret Service, announced that a review of the shooting spree and White House security procedures would be incorporated into a study already under way. It follows September's safety scare in which a light plane crash-landed on the White House grounds and slid into the wall below the President's bedroom, killing only the depressed pilot. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, which maintains the grounds and building, is working on a long-range plan for White House preservation, tourism and work space.
