A consortium of new lawyers argues the 1998 multi billion settlement omits smokers as victims and should redirect funds to Medicaid covered illnesses. They propose a looped flow where smokers pay the companies, states and lawyers receive, and smokers regain funds for more cigarettes. This onslaught parallels a satire of policy aims and mega litigation profits.
Molly Ivins previews a humorous 1993 inauguration speech, imagining Bill Clinton delivering a pragmatic, duty focused address. The piece contrasts lofty ideals with calls for improved government operations, civic responsibility, and commitment to democracy for all citizens.
The piece contrasts John McCain's rallying image with congressional skepticism, focusing on Sen. Bob Bennett's clash over Utah Olympic funds. It questions McCain's blunt style, notes his failure to detail soft money sources, and warns that his blunt crusades may provoke entrenched opposition and hinder reform efforts.
A column argues that grandparents rights cases reveal deeper family tensions and parenting judgments. It contrasts loving grandparents with difficult ones, notes the Supreme Court review of a Washington state case, and stresses that courts should rarely overturn parental decisions except in clear abuse or primary caregiving failures. It mentions personal memories of two grandmothers and hints at Jacoby’s forthcoming book Half-Jew: A Daughter's Search for Her Family's Buried Past.
