The Smoking Gub

Based on a series of documents provided by the United Kingdom, the Bush team thought it had found the smoking gun -- proof that Iraq recently had attempted to purchase uranium for nuclear weapons from Niger, an African country.

Morris Nichols, Young Conaway and Richards Layton first-year associates went from $135,000 to $145,000, and at Potter Anderson, all associates received a $10,000 increase.
