Clinton Remained Silent As Wal-Mart Fought Unions
An ABC News analysis of the videotapes of at least four stockholder meetings where Clinton appeared shows she never once rose to defend the role of American labor unions. The tapes, broadcast this morning on "Good Morning America," were provided to ABC News from the archives of Flagler Productions, a Lenexa, Kan., company hired by Wal-Mart to record its meetings and events. A former board member told ABCNews.com that he had no recollection of Clinton defending unions during more than 20 board meetings held in private. The tapes show Clinton in the role of a loyal company woman. "I'm always proud of Wal-Mart and what we do and the way we do it better than anybody else," she said at a June 1990 stockholders meeting. Clinton would not agree to be interviewed on the subject but now says she no longer shares Wal-Mart's values and believes unions "have been essential to our nation's success." The videotapes do show that Clinton used her role to push for more environmentally friendly policies and better treatment of women.
Virginia Snedecker artwork on view at Morris Museum
When Taylor returned, he and Snedecker quickly had two children, and moved first to Brooklyn and then to Ridgefield, where she gave up painting. The demands of raising kids, she said, made working at her art impossible. Snedecker was taught by Kenneth Hayes Miller, who also taught Edward Hopper, and there is something of both male artists in her work -- the genre themes, blond tones and sharply simplified planes of color are reminiscent of many American Scene painters of the day. Where Snedecker differs most from Hopper is in her Renaissance-like devotion to a clear and deep perspectival space in which multiple figures are clearly delineated to establish dynamic, puzzle-fit relationships with one another. .
Recall bid a fraud, mayor's lawyer says
The residency matter is just the latest development in the text-message scandal that has consumed the mayor's administration. Prosecutors are considering criminal charges against Kilpatrick and former chief of staff Christine Beatty based on whether they lied during a whistle-blower trial filed by two former Detroit police officers. Johnson said he wanted others to file the petition because of his City Council bid. But he said most were fearful of retribution if they took on the mayor. "I couldn't get anyone to do it. They were too scared," he said. To put a recall before voters, Johnson would have to get nearly 57,000 valid signatures of registered voters in the city. He said he has more than 300 volunteers ready to start collecting them. .
Jolie Sees Benefit in US Surge in Iraq
A similar number fled Iraq to escape the bloodshed.
"It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people," Jolie wrote. "But it is not too early to start working on solutions."
The actress, who works on behalf of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, urged America's presidential candidates and congressional leaders to step up financing for aid to displaced Iraqis. UNHCR has asked for $261 million this year -- "less than the U.S. spends each day to fight the war in Iraq," she wrote.
Addressing the question of whether the "troop surge" has worked, Jolie said that "I can only state what I witnessed."
"When I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq," she wrote.
Do toes know your story?
If the palms tell a story about our future, then the toes reveal something about where we've been. That's according to Chicagoan Gabrielle Loomis, a life coach who has added toe reading to her toolbox. "Your toes are repositories for the emotional journey you're on, from birth to now," says Loomis, a certified toe reader in Chicago. .

Switching Majors and Values in Ecuador
We also learned about the local fishermen's struggle to both conserve natural resources and make ends meet. I ended the program with an independent-study program based in an indigenous village in the Amazon. Here, I did policy work for a future World Bank sanitation project for rural villages. The only sanitation systems these people were educated about were water systems that had been shown to fail in that exact village, so I faced a challenge. I was there to build a model of an ecological dry toilet, so that nonconventional systems that do not pollute the water could actually be a choice in choosing a sanitation system. My stay in the village made me question many of the values and cultural norms prevalent in the United States. In the village, I lived with a family of 11 brothers and sisters in a place with no bathrooms and electricity only on rare occasions.
