The players rejoiced on the mound and filed into the clubhouse, where the champagne flowed. They were happy, but seemingly nonplussed, quickly, methodically exiting the stadium. No big deal.

...longer having free access to your information. "Business obviously hates to be regulated," says Eisenberg. "Guidelines like this make them feel hampered, and they're already up in arms about how much enforcement is going to cost." Clinton appears unmoved by their complaints, and, according to the New York Times, is annoyed with Congress for allowing the issue to languish for so long. Indeed, Clinton will take the opportunity to urge Congress to also allow patients to sue doctors or HMOs for undermining their privacy...
