The measure, backed by a bipartisan group in Congress, would boost African apparel exports and U.S. imports, arguing it serves American consumers and African economies. The bill awaits Senate action.

Good money after bad in Gore education plan
Cal Thomas critiques Al Gore for proposing multibillion dollar federal funding for education while arguing surveys show money alone won’t boost achievement. He cites waste at the Education Department, including $50 million in duplicate payments, a seven year-old computer theft ring, misallocated Javits fellowships, Pell Grants to ineligible students, and $700 million unaccounted for. He calls for oversight and a focus on reforms before more spending.

Jacob Sullum argues that two large New England Journal of Medicine studies cast doubt on the idea that high fiber intake reduces colon polyp risk. The piece discusses preventive medicine, FDA claims standards, and a court ruling on significant scientific agreement, noting the tension between cautious health guidance and scientific uncertainty. Sullum writes from a libertarian perspective for Reason magazine.
