Yanking His Cheney	Ben White	25 Jul 2000	Muckraker

Primary Colors	Ben White	09 Mar 2000	Muckraker
The presidential primary contests came thundering to a halt this week and, on the Republican side, the environment appears to have played a major role in helping George W. Bush beat back John McCain. The height of the GOP battle was marked by bitter acrimony over a television ad paid for by Bush supporters that criticized McCain's environmental record and praised Bush's. First reports of the ad, which ran on the pricey airwaves of New York and Califo ...

Where the Sidewalk Ends	Ben White	02 Sep 1999	Muckraker
Texas Gov. George W. Bush dodged one legal bullet this week when a judge ruled that he could not be subpoenaed in a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by the state's former funeral commission director, who claims she was fired after attempting to investigate a funeral services company that has contributed large sums to Bush's gubernatorial campaigns. Bush was not quite as lucky Monday, when a group of environmentalists filed suit against him personal ...

What I Did on My Summer Vacation	Ben White	18 Aug 1999	Muckraker
August is prime R&R time for lawmakers, who are kicking back in their home states and pressing the all-important constituent flesh. No such vacation at the Sierra Club, however, where summer means it's time to drive lawmakers crazy by running ads against them. On the receiving end of the group's radio spots this time around are Reps. Chris John (D-La.), Anne Northup (R-Ky.), Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), and Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich ...
