Editors at TIMEWARNER's PEOPLE magazine found themselves in controversy on Thursday -- after the weekly published a photograph showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton in an apparent "aroused" state. Clinton is shown "erect" as she is embraced by her companion Ian Klaus at last week's US OPEN tennis tournament; her face: showing "bedroom pleasures." Publishing the provocative photograph of the media-shy Clinton is the latest attempt by new PEOPLE editor Martha Nelson to heat up the magazine. The snap is featured near the front of the book in the September 23 edition [Pg.24]. But the controversial shot of Clinton pulled...

DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s intelligence sources have learned that a secret high-level emissary entered Iraq under cover to put Baghdad on notice that if non-conventional weapons were wielded by Iraq, the US would not hesitate to level its cities with a nuclear bomb.

The American ultimatum included a demand...

George W. Bush told the United Nations to put up or shut up, and just in time. We had heard enough from Colin, Don, Condi, and the men who left the Gulf war unfinished to thoroughly disguise the president's intentions. Yesterday he finally talked the talk. "The Security Council resolutions will be enforced," the president told the U.N. General Assembly. "The just demands of peace and security will be met. Or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power."Translation (we think) from diplo-speak to bunkhouse English: "You guys have adopted your...

With roughly 80 employees and a 240-person seating capacity, Disneyland Hotel’s Goofy’s Kitchen is the hotel’s largest and busiest restaurant. It offers patrons an opportunity to eat among roaming Disney characters—such as Pluto, Snow White and, of course, the eponymic, buck-toothed dog—who gather near the buffet bar and entertain by singing and dancing the macarena.Despite the festive atmosphere, current and former restaurant employees say the cafeteria-style restaurant is plagued by rats, rat feces and toxic mold. Four employees filed workman’s-compensation claims against Disney in October 2001 and January 2002 citing chronic illnesses from dust and various forms of airborne mold....

Federalism - the allocation and balancing of power between state and federal government - has emerged as a central concern of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Slowly, but steadily, the Rehnquist Court has been cutting back federal powers, and protecting state's rights. Many have wondered what the Court is doing. Why are the Court's five conservatives - the Chief Justice himself, along with Associate Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas - creating this new jurisprudence of federalism? The answer is simple: they are seeking to fill a void in our constitutional structure,...

What is corporatism? In a (somewhat inaccurate) phrase, socialism for the bourgeois. It has the outward form of capitalism in that it preserves private ownership and private management, but with a crucial difference: as under socialism, government guarantees the flow of material goods, which under true capitalism it does not. In classical capitalism, what has been called the "night-watchman" state, government's role in the economy is simply to prevent force or fraud from disrupting the autonomous operation of the free market. The market is trusted to provide. Under corporatism, it is not, instead being systematically manipulated to deliver goods to...

The Eighth Amendment to our Constitution says even if we've broken the law, our government can't inflict cruel and unusual punishment on us. Some prisoners say that's exactly what's going on when they're given "the loaf." "The loaf" is bread with milk, carrots and potatoes added for nutrition, so it's a full meal. At some prisons, inmates who keep misbehaving get the loaf with water and raw cabbage, instead of regular prison food. Corrections officers say they need tools like the loaf because managing prisoners is a scary job. Some prisoners feel they have nothing left to lose — maybe...
