...roommate, who is the only intern at the place where she works, swore I'd be thrilled to have such constructive events. I couldn't think of anything worse. I'd gone to the Grille a few too many times, so the watering hole pickup scene was not too appealing. I'd grown up in Baltimore, so the monuments were the stuff of my junior high field trips. Excuses aside, I was afraid of this thing called Culture, doubting I'd fit the bill. I couldn't imagine having to pick out a skirt in the morning that was long...
...entirely made up of faceless bureaucrats--the principles at stake are not. What makes this more than just another inside-the-Beltway imbroglio is the fear that the Clinton White House may have misused the FBI just months after the Administration, in the wake of the travel-office scandal, swore such a thing would never happen again. When a President harnesses the power of America's premier law-enforcement agency to political ends, he rides roughshod over the Constitution and revisits the bad old days of J. Edgar Hoover.

All three men directly contradict the testimony of former Philip Morris ceo William Campbell before Representative Henry Waxman's 1994 congressional subcommittee. At those hearings Campbell, along with six other tobacco ceos, swore that he did not believe nicotine was addictive, and that Philip Morris did nothing to manipulate or increase nicotine levels in its products...
...lawyers are less quick with a response, however, when asked about what Florida assistant attorney general Jim Peters refers to as "the big bad bear out there": the federal perjury probe launched after seven tobacco CEOs testifying at the Waxman hearings swore that nicotine was not addictive. Philip Morris lawyers point out that their former CEO, William Campbell, did not say tobacco is not addictive: he only said he doesn't believe it is addictive, a "personal viewpoint he has every right to hold," says York. Some tobacco experts speculate that the tobacco industry may seek a deal in which...
