Names with no stomach for further court action may take comfort from the judge's assertion that it was "high time" litigation in Britain and elsewhere ceased and exhorted Lloyd's itself to seek a "fair, overall settlement" with the dissidents--hammered out perhaps by an independent panel. Lloyd's, still wallowing in red ink (according to market estimates, losses could total as much as $4.5 billion for 1998-2000), has yet to respond. The refuseniks for their part are hoping for a deus ex machina in the form of criminal proceedings launched by U.S. government prosecutors who have been...
...Bush had been on an emotional roller coaster. He went through Tums and Mylanta and Rolaids, his stomach churning like a boa constrictor, to use his words: "At first it didn't get that tense. George was riding so high. He came out of Philadelphia with all the surveys showing him ahead. We felt he did a good job at the convention. It's like a football game.

...After a two days of listening to unchallenged invective - where are the liberal callers? is there a lock box on their phones? - I literally got an upset stomach.

You are stuck with two entrees, but your stomach cannot even ponder pesto beef let alone the prospect of purchasing yet another pair of pants. As a result, you end up throwing out a plate of Mexican perfection. This can be avoided in three ways. First, you could read the menu as you walk in rather than desperately searching...
SCREENING FOR THE SQUEAMISH Can't stomach the idea of colonoscopy? If early reports pan out, there may be a far less intimidating--and still reliable--way to screen for colon cancer. Doctors have developed a simple stool test that analyzes DNA shed from inside the colon. The test has so far accurately detected 91% of tumors and 73% of tiny precancerous polyps. It may be two years or more before the test becomes available, however, so your best bet for now is still the 6-ft. probe...
