401(k)s: Employer Contributions Get the AxBy Amy Feldman – 30 mins ago When times are tough, companies find cost savings wherever they can.

Rather feeling Freeped, but standing by his story Dan Rather appeared miffed that he even had to spend five minutes of his broadcast tonight responding to what he called the none-too-surprising counterattack led by partisan operatives against his 60 Minutes segment on Wednesday about Bush's Guard service. Putting the whole superscript frenzy into perspective, Rather recapped the central points of his piece: Did Ben Barnes use his influence to get Bush into the Guard?
