...businessmen argue about who is to blame for the demise of the 26-year-old Prestige, which was en route from the Latvian port of Ventspils to Singapore with a cargo of 76,972 tons of Russian fuel oil. "The ultimate story will be why, why, why?" says Stewart Wade, spokesman for the Houston, Texas-based American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which inspected and last certified the tanker as seaworthy in Dubai last May.

Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) have been discouraged from seeking higher office unless they change their position on the life issue. Rep. Oberstar courageously stuck to his beliefs and years ago lost the support of the party for a U.S. Senate bid. Fortunately, he has continued to serve his constituents and been a strong leader opposing abortion in the House. Had he won the Senate bid, he would have been at least as effective...
