...should not meddle in the internal decisions of its Democratic counterparts. With whom the Dems affiliate should not be of their concern and it is unclear to us why HRC even released its statement, though it’s not a stretch to infer that they are aiming to weaken...
...unclear whether Ross's execution would have that quickening effect. The last New England execution took place in 1960. A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that although 70% of Connecticut respondents want Ross executed, in general just 37% favor the death penalty over life without parole. Being the exception may be part of Ross's motivation. "Michael relishes the idea of being the only one," says Robert Nave, who, as head of the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty, has visited Ross frequently. "I think he knows he'll go down in history as the first--and perhaps...
...1990s, say scientists, ocean temperatures have been increasing at a faster clip--enough to more than double their contribution to sea-level rise. At the same time, the global warming has dramatically increased the meltwater and ice discharged by glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets. It's still unclear whether other factors--such as changes in the amount of snow that falls on Antarctica or the amount of water trapped in reservoirs--will speed the rise in ocean levels or slow it, or even send it into reverse...
Exactly when Rose first made out the ghost's gray outline is unclear. But on the 1973 night of his 2,000th hit, near the end of an interview, he observed casually, "Cobb took this long to get 1,861."

...malleable metal that has been considered versatile enough for the coffins of kings in the 17th century and for cola cans in the 20th, is now in trouble in the marketplace. Trading in the commodity has been suspended on the London Metal Exchange since Oct. 24, and it remained unclear last week just when the buying and selling of tin will resume. Says Jacques Lion, chairman of the London Metal Exchange: "The global tin industry is in complete disarray." Some members of the 108-year-old exchange are suggesting that the time may have come for closing the London...
