...make the case, the Administration is launching a two-month talk-a-thon. Treasury Secretary John Snow and other senior Bush officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, will blanket the country for sixty stops in sixty days.

One bad weekend, and the rest of a squad’s season can be relegated to an afterthought...
Some pet cases have reaped surprisingly large awards. Marc Bluestone of Sherman Oaks, Calif., won a $39,000 jury award last February after Shane, his mixed-breed Labrador retriever, valued by the court at $10, died just days after coming home from a two-month stay in a pet clinic. Although the suit took five years, cost more than $300,000 in legal fees and is on appeal, Bluestone says it was all worth it: "I can't get my baby back, but I did get justice...
