GOVERNMENT:
Richard Perle served as the bull's-eye of a protestor's shoe at a Portland debate with new DNC chairman Howard Dean. Perle is a former adviser partly responsible for designing the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
HEALTH:
The FDA is narrowly convinced that Cox-2 inhibitors should still be availiable as long as patients know the medication could increase their chances of developing "heart trouble."
CONSUMERS:
New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey is sticking up for consumers. Blockbuster's claim of "No More Late Fees" must of been a typo. It seems what they meant to say was "No More Late Fees For a Week, After That You Owe Us $1.25, After That You're Paying Retail."
Harvey has filed a lawsuit against the video rental chain, adding to the company's troubles as they lost the battle to take over Hollywood Entertainment Corp., losing to a smaller competitor.
CONVICTION:
Paul Shanley's highly publicized conviction has spun the spotlight back onto the Catholic church. More than 1,000 new cases have been filed against clergymen in the past year. Many dioceses face bankruptcy in the wake of accusations against over 4,000 clerics. Sex abuse settlements had cost the church about $573 million by 2002.
