Bill bogged down in Senate by amendments on aid bill
The emergency U.S. appropriations bill to fund government past Oct. 1 stalls in the Senate as about 40 amendments crowd the measure. Senate leaders urge trimming to enable a vote, with key proposals including a jobs program, unemployment benefits expansion, and funding cuts for the Clinch River reactor. The House Senate negotiators must forge a compromise while the Finance Committee moves a leaner enterprise zone package benefiting utilities and brokers.

Bloomingdale playmate loses parts of palimony suit
Los Angeles AP The judge dismissed three counts of Vicki Morgan's $11 million palimony suit against Alfred Bloomingdale's estate and Betsy Bloomingdale. The ruling limits potential recovery to $5 million from two counts for alleged oral and implied contracts. The court labeled the affair as meretricious and not protected by unwritten contract doctrine. The suit, tied to Bloomingdale's status as a Reagan adviser and his death from cancer, continues only in part.
