...Instincts kick in. Always be polite. Before gathering Kevin and our things, I poke my head in the radio booth to thank Chaz Scoggins for the tickets. "I've got to run," I say. "My daughter caught that foul." He probably doesn't know, yet, what I'm talking about. He probably thinks my daughter caught a baseball and, therefore, why am I leaving...
...Thank you--that is, if you're a tobacco company or an investor in one. Two years after absorbing what was supposed to be a death blow, the industry seems once again as healthy as a vegan marathoner. And last week it got an unexpected pick-me-up from the Bush Justice Department. The DOJ said it may be willing to settle a Clinton-era suit seeking to recoup more than $20 billion in health-care costs.

When he handed control of the U.S. Senate to the Democrats, he changed the strategic equation. As one observer of Rumsfeld's trip to Brussels noted, it may now be no easier to convince the Senate than the Europeans of the virtue of missile defense. And it took extensive lobbying by the Clinton Administration to get the Senate (then under Republican control) to welcome Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic into...
