Clinton Admin delays wage push to appease conservatives
The Clinton administration plans to seek a higher minimum wage next year, with advisers noting the proposal would be smaller than the original $1 rise.

In Ostend, Belgium, a British oil tanker collided with a cargo ship in fog, burning and killing at least seven crew members, with two still missing.
