Rockwell slapped over access to shuttle papers
Article Abstract:
US District Judge John D. Rainey on July 24, 1995, ordered Rockwell International Corp to produce papers that may reveal a pattern of cover-ups and safety and contract violations. He also ordered it to pay fines and fees that could amount to over $200,000, in a suit brought by former data clerk Ria Solomon. She says she tried to voice concerns through the company's ombudsman's office, which told the security dept and launched a campaign of harassment against her. The judge strongly rebuked the company for ignoring repeated court orders.

Nussbaum: I did what any lawyer would've done
Article Abstract:
Former presidential counsel Bernard W. Nussbaum on Aug 9 defended to a Senate panel his actions following the suicide of his deputy, Vincent Foster, in 1993. Both outside experts and panel members divided sharply on their judgment of Nussbaum, whose own testimony conflicted with that of former Justice Dept lawyers also involved in the incident. Nussbaum claimed he acted cautiously to protect his client, President Clinton, and not waive the attorney-client privilege, which many think is not an issue in this case.

A 1677 Treaty between the British King and the Powhatan Indian Empire stands in the way of a $350 mil reservoir project. The matter shows how development deals are in danger if minority communities believe the deals' environmmental impact to have been inadequately examined.
