Retailers hope last minute buying will lift holiday sales, though many shoppers remain cautious and selective despite high confidence and low inflation. Store managers say crowds were strong at Sears, J.C. Penney, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, the Gap, and Kmart as final week markdowns spread.

Abortion Technique Briefly Ends Pregnancy Early
A new early abortion method allows ending a pregnancy just days after conception before a missed period. The technique, used at 23 Planned Parenthood affiliates, employs a hand held syringe and can take only minutes, offering a fast surgical option over drugs. Opponents insist abortion remains wrong at any stage, while Planned Parenthood officials emphasize the selection and safety advantages of early intervention.

Objection to Gulf War vaccine overridden by security concerns

The Defense Department later overruled, citing national security, and the unlicensed vaccine was given to about 8,000 troops without full disclosure.
