GOP Retreats on Tort Reform in Senate
Senate Republicans narrow a contentious tort reform bill to product liability lawsuits and cap punitive damages for manufacturers. The plan, backed by Sens. Slade Gorton and John Rockefeller, aims to avoid a filibuster with a two times other damages or 250000 cap, while allowing higher awards on rare judicial findings.

Her fierce stance draws praise and opposition from allies and rivals alike.

Letters From New Yorker Taunt Clarksburg Town
A 31 year old New Yorker using the pen name J T Colfax has mailed more than 300 letters since December to Clarksburg residents and businesses. He details sexual experiences and mocks locals claiming the letters are a literary project to ease loneliness and expose homosexuality in small town America. Colfax chose Clarksburg for its lack of gay bars and says he spreads mundane daily details with explicit sex content.
