...astonishes me to turn on the tube and see a lawyer on the Bush team accusing Gore of bringing lawsuits until he gets the result he wants. What an accusation! This is at a time when Bush has just taken a state-election dispute to the U.S. Supreme Court. Bush, more than Gore, has been trying to overturn laws as written with fanciful constitutional arguments. Both sides are pursuing all their legal options with a vengeance. But apparently when Bush does it, he's vindicating the rule of law. When Gore does it, he's trying to change the rules...

The company has sold $340 million worth of Go-Gurt, according to an independent researcher, and General Mills has dethroned Dannon...
...autopsy photo shows a little boy who looks relieved to be dead. His eyes are closed. A hospital tube protrudes from his broken nose. He has deep cuts above his right ear and dark linear scars on his forehead. The bruises on his back are a succession of yellows, greens and blues. On the bottom of his tiny feet are unhealed third-degree burns. He had been battered and tortured. He had been tied with panty hose and belts to a banister by the woman who had become his foster grandmother. The state of Georgia had taken him away from...
