A handful are taking their chances and filing lawsuits instead against the airlines, the owners of the World Trade Center and the government. But the majority have done nothing. Kenneth Feinberg, the government-appointed special master of the Victim Compensation Fund, is hoping to convince them to file with the fund–and soon. The deadline for filing is less than four months away. NEWSWEEK’s Jennifer Barrett spoke with Feinberg about why so many families have yet to file and what he can do to change their minds before it’s too late....

A good move, perhaps–but not enough to pre-empt scrutiny. Records in the “reading room” and elsewhere show that Clark used extensive contacts in the Bush administration to lobby on behalf of a company eager to get post-9/11 security work. As an Arkansas businessman, Clark had buttonholed Vice President Dick Cheney and, NEWSWEEK learned, Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, aides to FBI Director Robert Mueller and his former chief deputy commander in Europe....

The research was published in the journal Ecological Monographs, and compared wolf behavior in the presence of brown bears in both Yellowstone and in Scandinavia. Researchers found that when brown bears, also known as grizzly bears, attend the scene of wolf kills, they caused varying behavior in the animals and triggered their natural competitive mechanisms. The research illuminated how top predators like wolves and bears don’t ignore the presence of other apex hunters when around their kills but in fact are directly influenced by each other....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 61 million adult Americans, or roughly 26 percent of America’s population, are living with some kind of disability. Yet despite disabled people representing such a significant proportion of the U.S., it would appear that many still suffer from prejudice in their everyday lives. Even worse still, as one example shared to Reddit shows, that prejudice can often come closer to home that many may realize....

Last week, Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School (and quite possibly the only Republican on the Upper West Side), penned a brief for lower corporate tax rates in the Wall Street Journal (purchase required). Hubbard, a former Bush economic adviser, noted that nations around the world are competing for capital in part by reducing tax rates, singling out Germany and Great Britain. The article concluded with a (surprise!) plea to reduce American corporate taxes....

For frequent fliers, it is clearly the worst of times. In the first quarter of 2007, only 71.4 percent of flights arrived on time, and 19,260 passengers were involuntarily bumped—up 13 percent from the year before. In July, 16,988 flights were canceled, up 54 percent from July 2006, according to FlightStats.com. And yet for airline companies, these are the best of times. The industry was laid low by 9/11 and the 2001 recession, as giants like United, US Airways and Delta filed for Chapter 11....

But today the toy giant changed its tune. An executive offered a public apology to China and Chinese suppliers. “Our reputation has been damaged lately by these recalls,” Thomas A. Debrowski, Mattel’s executive vice president for worldwide operations, told a Chinese consumer-products safety official. “And Mattel takes full responsibility for these recalls and apologizes personally to you, the Chinese people, and all of our customers who received the toys.”...

The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec, is the largest cemetery in Canada, with a site of more than 340 acres. That’s a lot of land to maintain, and there have been complaints about groundhogs at the site which are believed to be responsible for human bones being pushed to the surface as the animals dig their burrows. Such is the extent of the issue that the cemetery released a statement on the matter on the news section of its website, in which it advises visitors to “report any presence of above-ground bones” to the customer service line....

The Knights have played in the New Year’s Day Six each of the last two seasons, and the Group of 5 conferences have a 3-2 record in that bowl game. UCF, however, isn’t the only American Athletic Conference or Group of 5 school that could make that run in 2019. P5 PRIMERS: ACC | B1G | SEC | B12 | P12 Here’s a closer look at the best of the Group of 5: Way-too-early ranked teams UCF Biggest Group of 5 storyline The continued fight against the Power 5 gap....

Only time will tell if any of that means anything. What Gruden said about his yet-to-be-established relationship with his franchise quarterback means much more. The most important things Gruden, the Washington Redskins' new coach, said about Robert Griffin III on Thursday were that Griffin is the starting quarterback (as opposed to part of a competition) — and that he will make sure Griffin is clear on what that means. "I want him to know that I'm a trustworthy guy, but he's also got to know that I'm going to expect a lot of him as the starting quarterback,'' Gruden said at his introductory press conference....

Claudio Pizarro came off the bench at the Allianz Arena on Saturday to net a stoppage-time winner with the last kick of the game as Bayern finished the season 19 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Bayern will have concerns over Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Mandzukic, both of whom limped off during the victory, especially with a DFB-Pokal final against Dortmund to come next weekend. Immediately after the game, however, Guardiola was in celebratory mood, having been showered in beer and having dropped the trophy in the aftermath of Bayern's on-pitch presentation....

Ronaldo named best-paid athlete The midfielder’s career at the Etihad Stadium appeared to be over this season after he was left out of the club’s Champions League squad and his agent Dimitri Seluk claimed Guardiola has humiliated the Ivorian. The City boss responded by insisting he would not play Toure until Seluk issued an apology, which subsequently arrived, with the 33-year-old returning to the team in November against Crystal Palace, scoring twice....

Guardiola promoted Tosin Adarabioyo, Pablo Maffeo, Angelino and Aleix Garcia to the senior squad last summer but none have managed to nail down a regular role in their manager’s plans. Man City heroes may not get Hart-like goodbye Maffeo and Angelino have been on loan away from City since the end of December, while Adarabioyo has not featured in a match-day squad since before Christmas. Guardiola plans to take several of the club’s Under-18 players, including Jadon Sancho, Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz, to the United States for pre-season training this summer....

The game and, arguably, the tie, was settled inside 31 minutes at a raucous Anfield as goals from Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane humbled the runaway Premier League leaders. City were beaten 4-3 on Merseyside in January but Guardiola feels their exploits elsewhere – a 5-0 win at home to Liverpool last September, for example – should give them a reason not to give up the ghost....

David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne reprised their dual playmaking roles of last season and combined to set up Sergio Aguero’s opener as City began their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. Fernandinho undertook the holding role, with Yaya Toure, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and new signing Bernardo Silva all stationed on the bench at the Amex Stadium. Busquets: Barca need more players...

Bet on Barca to win La Liga Laporta appointed Guardiola as coach in 2008 in a decision that was questioned at the time but turned out to be a masterstroke as Barca embarked on the most successful spell in their entire history, winning a treble in 2008-09 and six out of six trophies in a glorious 16-month period. “I thought it was the most logical [decision],” Laporta told Goal in an exclusive interview....

“The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci—president of the company for 30 years—and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them,” the statement—first published by Italian news agency ANSA and later obtained by Variety—read. The statement from the heirs of the fashion mogul Aldo Gucci also indicated the family is considering legal action....

President Bush was braced for a fight over trade. Instead, he’s run into a firestorm. As Congress wrestles with the president’s plan to eliminate trade barriers between the United States and Mexico, a combined assault by labor, environmental and religious groups has put the outcome in doubt. “There’s no doubt that the alliance of these groups…will cause us more trouble,” says Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Julius Katz. “We’ve got more explaining to do on the Mexican issue-and will on every trade issue in the future....

Players Conventional Wisdom George Bush Not persuasive enough. A house divided against itself can’t fight a war. Saddam Hussein Fight-or suffer a coup after capitulating. You’re dead meat either way. The Israelis Sure, some missiles might slip through, but worth it to get rid of Saddam. The U.N. After so much humble pie, these are salad days on the East River. Enjoy. The Palestinians Backed wrong horse, but war or not, peace conference is more likely....

They aren’t the only ones; Emilia “Amy” Marin, a speech language clerk who worked at Amerie’s school filed a petition to force a deposition with Daniel Defense, asking the company to produce its marketing materials. This filing came two days after Ilene Steur, who survived the Brooklyn subway attack, sued Glock for its marketing. Marketing-related lawsuits represent a new front in holding gunmakers responsible for shootings. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (2005) prohibits suing gun manufacturers, but this blanket immunity was eroded in February when the parents of the Sandy Hook victims won a landmark $73 million dollar settlement against Remington....
