New Mexico Mulls Drunk Driving Locks on All Cars Tue February 17, 2004 03:19 PM ET SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - New Mexico is considering a law that would make all drivers exhale into an alcohol detection device in their cars before they could start the engine.

The bill is being debated this week in the state's Senate. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of fatalities caused by...

Employees run into unwritten rule of workplace: Urinate on demand By ADAM GELLER AP Business Writer Tom Smith worried he was in for trouble on a Wednesday morning last November, when a supervisor pulled the assembly line worker aside and told him to the report to the factory nurse's station. There, with a plastic urine specimen cup in hand, 40 ounces of water sloshing around inside him and the nurse waiting expectantly, Smith says he spent three hours straining to do what most people barely think about. But when the time allotted for the random drug test was finished, the...

Doug Ose of Sacramento has seven dirty words very much on his mind, courtesy of such free speakers as U2 singer Bono and Nicole Richie, the rich kid co-star of "The Simple Life.''

Kobe Bryant is an athlete. This means that he is a target. After virtually every NBA basketball game you will find women hovering around arena exits who are willing to throw themselves into bed with almost any athlete that walks out of that...

July 16, 2003 -- THE liberation of millions goes ignored. Democrats attack the Republican president over a continuing conflict, insisting it cannot be won, as they position themselves for upcoming elections. The president acts vigorously in response to a threat to our national survival - exacerbated by the fecklessness and timidity of his predecessor in office. His critics are outraged and unforgiving. A retired general is one of the contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, although the Army realizes it's winning and continues to support the president. Continental European powers, especially France, tacitly back Washington's enemies, jockeying for financial advantage...
