...owners and players. The owners plan on announcing next Monday at their meeting in Chicago that they are going to impose a salary cap on players, The Washington Post reported. "Last year's system is a historical artifact and we cannot operate under it any more," Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten said Monday night. "Clubs have to do something by (December) 7th because from that point forward we're into next season with last year's economic system." With the players not planning to offer an alternative to the taxation plan offered two weeks ago, the owners are likely...
Back in Washington, a lot of party centrists are prepared to tell Clinton all about how he's perceived. The Democratic Leadership Council, the group of moderate Democrats that Clinton once headed, issued a poll conducted right after the voting by Stan Greenberg, the President's own pollster. It showed that Clinton's support had vanished among the independent voters who helped put Democrats over the top in 1992.

...group that opposes increasing cigarette taxes to fund health care reform burned Hillary Rodham Clinton in effigy Saturday -- as a Kentucky congressman and a gubernatorial candidate looked on. At a rally of about 100 people in Owensboro, Ky., Stan Arachikavitz, president of the state's Association of Tobacco Supporters, doused the dangling effigy with gasoline, then chanted "Burn, baby, burn!" as two women set it ablaze. Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gatewood Galbraith, who moments before had delivered fiery speeches themselves, distanced themselves from the stunt's more violent implications: "I certainly wouldn't have done...
