Along with a number of other conference participants, I was stuck in the airport in the capital city of Dakar. For some unknown reason, the ticket agents had stalled us, so we were doing what American ecotourists often do when the Third Wo ... |

Muckraker |
| No one in her or his right mind thinks the 106th Congress is going to pass a whole lot of actual free-standing legislation.
