...other labor groups have been outspoken in their opposition to China's entry into the WTO, and have placed substantial pressure on presidential candidate and Vice President Al Gore '69 to change his stance. Meanwhile, the far right has focused on China's worsening human rights record; the State Department's annual human rights report used harsher terms to describe China's actions this year regarding political and religious freedoms than in any year since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. The Republican leadership in Congress has tried to find a balance by holding a tough line on Taiwan while advocating...
...Haider resigned Monday following weekend E.U. meetings in Brussels in which representatives of the other 14 E.U. member nations shunned Austrian heads of state. Tuesday morning Justice Minister Michael Krueger, a fellow Freedom party member who's taken heat for praising Nazi policies, followed suit and also resigned. But E.U. leaders realize that the Freedom party remains an unsettling force in Austria, enjoying 33 percent support nationwide - a popularity fueled by Austrian resentment over the E.U.'s shunning of Vienna. So while Haider may fade into the background in the short run - he said he will concentrate full-time...

Catholics make up the majority of New York voters and 46 percent of registered Republicans. Last week, Long Island congressman Peter King, who's held in high esteem by the Irish Catholic lobby, defected from Bush to McCain, saying Bush had destroyed his chances of carrying the state in a general election, a view shared by many political analysts. While Catholics make up a smaller voting block among California Republicans, Bush was previously...
...sweeping ramifications for women's reproductive health rights. If the Court decides the hospital did, in fact, have a right to test the pregnant women for drugs without their consent, the Justices are essentially affirming the position of the South Carolina legislature: A fetus is a child under the state's child abuse laws, and so the law is necessary to protect against child abuse. High courts in several other states have struck down similar drug-test policies, ruling against the idea that a fetus is a child. As always, no one wants to guess what the Supreme Court might...
