The Ledger: Lakeland, Polk County, Florida
From: NewsTrove.com
"No! Say it ain't so, Mel! Seeing Mel Martinez, a man who exemplified the promise of America -- a refugee living the rags to riches story -- step into the negative campaign mode last week was disappointing.
Martinez's campaign went beyond twisting the truth. It bent the truth double and then tied a knot in it trying to make former Congressman Bill McCollum, his chief U.S. Senate rival in the Republican primary, look like a liberal."

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican House leaders expressed confidence Wednesday that they will be able to extend three popular tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of this year.
However, GOP lawmakers conceded they still had to work out a number of sticky details that derailed an effort to pass the measures before Congress went on its extended summer break.
A deal to extend the measures for two years evaporated in July when the Bush administration insisted Congress should approve keeping the tax breaks on the books for another five years."
The Political Economy of War and Peace in Afghanistan
From: NewsTrove.com
"one side, the state's dependence on foreign aid and sales
of natural gas became even more pronounced, but aid now
came exclusively from the USSR and its allies. The state
lost not so much control of (which it never had) but access
to much of the rural areas. The state expanded the urban
institutions under its control, and a larger proportion
of the population depended on it not only for employment,
education, and health care, but food as well. By the Soviet
withdrawal, nearly all of Kabul's food and fuel was donated
by the USSR and distributed by the government through
a coupon system."

"HELENA - Opponents of a proposed tobacco tax hike filed a notice of appeal with the Montana Supreme Court Tuesday, a week after a District Court judge denied their request to toss out the initiative altogether.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs, a group including Montana war veterans,
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and the state association of convenience store owners, said their appeal is buoyed by District Court Judge Dorothy McCarter's rewrite of ballot Initiative 149."

"R-News is reporting that Congresswoman Louise Slaughter secured the rights for the Spirit of Ontario to fly the American flag, which would have saved CATS over $6,000 for piloting fees, yet the TV station is reported that CATS rejected the right to fly the flag. Even the U S Coast Guard was ready to present a flag to the ferry's owners.
Another bad move on the part of CATS was canceling the ferry service without bothering to notify people who already purchased tickets. Some of those customers were from out-of-town."
