Ashcroft secures GOP nod for Danforth seat in Missouri
Former Missouri Governor John Ashcroft easily won the GOP nomination to replace retiring Senator Danforth. In Michigan, Donald Riegle's decision not to seek a fourth term created a crowded Senate field, while GOP rival Spencer Abraham split a tight two horse race with Ronna Romney. On the Democratic side Lana Pollack and Bob Carr led a six candidate field. Higher gasoline prices are forecast due to world oil dynamics, with a 15 to 20 cent rise expected by year end. A Nigerian oil strike has added to crude costs. In Ohio a rental complex will require drug tests for potential tenants, a nationwide first. The FCC proposed verifying 800-number charges to curb billing abuses for information services. Only readable excerpts summarized.
