...layman's terms while Dow's lawyers showed up with treatises and textbooks. "You could see the jury's eyes glaze over," she says. Moreover, internal Dow memos explicitly referring to "cover-ups" and calling the marketing of the implants "inexcusable" and "right up there with the Pinto gas tank" did nothing to win sympathy for the company...
...less divorce?" asks Larry Bumpass, a sociologist at the University of Wisconsin. "The answer is an obvious yes. Do I think that it is a realistic policy objective? The answer is no." He contends that the antidivorce movement isn't a genuine movement at all but a think tank-inspired pseudoissue. He points to the role being played by organizations like the Institute for American Values and its offshoot, the Council on Families.

Now it turns out Gaylord took $7,500 a month from a Republican think tank so cash starved that HALEY BARBOUR had to obtain a $2.1 million loan guarantee from a Hong Kong businessman to make good on its debts. The National Policy Forum's payments of about $112,000 to Gaylord in 1995 and 1996 were disclosed in the Senate donorgate hearings last week. Barbour...
