The Justice Department has agreed not to pursue subpoenas for sales records of three bookstores, including Books & Books of Coral Gables, in a move hailed as a victory for the privacy rights of book buyers.
The government sought access to the records as part of an investigation into the campaign finances of Democratic Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, according to the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, which assisted the bookstores in resisting the subpoenas. |

Three primary obstacles prevent the United Nations from having the authority it needs to control the United States: (1) permanent veto power in the U.S. Security Council; (2) independent, adequate funding; and (3) the military might to enforce its decisions.
The United States would have to agree before these obstacles could be removed... The United States should walk away from every U.N. conference, and withdraw its financial support from every U.N. institution. Immediately. |

"It is just a process for making it more expensive and harder for people who legitimately own firearms and of course the downside of these nitpicking policies is it will drive more and more people to search the black market for illegal firearms." |

The federal government wants a deadline of October 1, 2001, for cell phone manufacturers to put the technology in place so dispatchers can automatically know where you are if you use your cell phone to dial 911 in an emergency.
Major cellular service providers want the Federal Communications Commission to bend the deadline.
Some lawmakers called on the FCC to say No, insisting that the industry has had plenty of time since the government set the date in 1996. |

"Hysteria and “getting the vapors” are strictly cultural predispositioning things. There’s reason to believe that women may actually be cooler under stress than men, if they are prepared and conditioned for emergencies. Tests we did with telemetry at Lethal Force Institute during high stress crisis roleplays showed that females did not elevate their vital signs in pressure situations as rapidly as men, and their increased vital signs plateaued sooner." |

Dr. David Oliver inadvertently convened the e-parley when he replied to a strident rebuke of NRA's stance... He distributed his reply to Diane Alden's NRA, CARA, and the Cafe' Constitution to NRA Board members and to Alden.
Oliver's distribution list made its way to a small number of journalists and CARA opponents, who began asking questions and pleading contentions to Oliver and the distribution list. After responding for several days, Oliver called a halt. |
