Alaska: Knowles'
Exxon Proposal Full of False Hope Says Murkowski - Following
the announcement that Tony Knowles would introduce federal legislation
to "force" a judgment in the Exxon Valdez settlement
case, U.S. Senator Murkowski blasted her opponent's actions as
a campaign promise full of false hope.
Murkowski said that Knowles
had eight years as Governor of Alaska to leverage for a final
settlement of the Exxon Valdez case. Now, when Knowles has decided
to run for the Senate and needs the votes of Alaska's fishermen
and those affected by the 1989 spill, he has decided to take
up the issue. Unfortunately, his actions are misleading at best
and may in fact prolong any resolution in the case. -

 Dick
Morris: Deer
In The Headlights - Tuesday night John Edwards went from
seeming to be like JFK to emulating Dan Quayle in the space of
90 minutes. Confronted with Dick Cheney's obvious competence,
incisive parries to his charges and devastating rebuttal of his
phony statistics, Edwards looked like the proverbial deer in
the headlights. - More...

 A
Legendary Mountain of Jade; Just one of Alaska's Arctic Wonders
- Alaska is a state of superlatives. It is the nation's largest
state. We drive past or fly over America's highest mountain.
We can visit the nation's deepest cave on Prince of Wales Island,
admire the waters of our state's longest coastline and enjoy
the midnight sun's longest days. Most of us, however, will
never see our superlative example of the Alaska State Gem - jade.
That's because Jade Mountain, an entire mountain made of beautiful
dark green jade, is far from any Alaska road system. - More...
