The Shrink's Progress
ORINDA, Calif. -- Debbie, a 17-year-old now down to 86 pounds and ever closer to her secret goal of 81 pounds, slowly awoke in her bed on a hospital intensive care unit. She was so groggy from her drug overdose that the only thing she noticed was the painful burning sensation in her nose. She then discovered that she couldn't move her hands to rub the unpleasant sensation away. Debbie had survived her suicide attempt and finally figured out that padded leather restraints secured her wrists and ankles to the sides of the bed. The burning sensation came from a tube that had been inserted through her nose down into her stomach. The tube had been used initially to pump out whatever pill fragments in Debbie's stomach had not been absorbed before she reached the hospital. After monitoring her for awhile the medical doctor decided that because her nutritional condition was so precarious, the nasogastric tube would be used for feeding Debbie's malnourished body.

European firms face Y2K legal chaos in wake of Good Samaritan Act
A US law could turn the wrath of Y2K litigation on European companies. President Clinton signed the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act - dubbed the Good Samaritan Act - into law on 19 October. The act grants US companies limited immunity from Y2K litigation. Businesses will be able to nominate certain past statements about their Y2K preparedness and the compliance of their products, which can't then be used against the company in a future lawsuit. European companies need to move fast to take advantage of the Act though. Those who do business with US companies or operate in the US must nominate any qualifying statements by 3 December. "The implications for US businesses are colossal, absolutely colossal," explained Tony Lewis, chief executive of the CSSA.
Johnson wins second Daytona 500 pole as Hendrick team rolls on
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The Hendrick Motorsports juggernaut just keeps on rolling. Reigning NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson won his second Daytona 500 pole less than 24 hours after new Hendrick teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the checkered flag in the non-points Budweiser Shootout. Michael Waltrip, embarrassed last year at Daytona when his then-new team was caught in the post-qualifying inspection using an illegal fuel additive in his Toyota, also had a great run Sunday, taking the outside pole. Only the top two qualifiers locked in starting positions for next week's 50th running of the Daytona 500. Asked if this makes him the favorite to win the 500, Johnson said, "We have to wait until we get out in the draft and see how these cars work.
