Then, in the question-and-answer session, someone put Betty Jordan of HMHB on the grill. She asked Jordan if there was any link between the more-fish-is-good-for-you recommendations and the National Fisheries Institute, an industry-funded group. The answer from Jordan: Yes, the HMHB did take $60,000 from NFI specifically to design a "micro" Web site to promote the new guidelines and to produce other "educational" materials. On further probing, the docs said they hadn't taken any money — though a couple said they'd taken "honorariums" for coming to coalition meetings. At deadline this afternoon, the HMHB still hadn't returned NPR's phone calls seeking more information. Meanwhile, Aubrey's calls were turning up other problems.

4th poised for rematch
Sixteen months ago, Prince George's County activist Donna Edwards rode the national wave of anti-war sentiment to come within a few thousand votes of unseating incumbent Rep. Albert R. Wynn in the Democratic primary election.
As the two candidates campaign for their rematch next month - when the Democratic primary vote in the liberal district will likely determine the next officeholder - both appear to have strengthened their positions.
This time around, Edwards says, voters know who she is before she introduces herself. Looking to maintain momentum from her narrow defeat, the 49-year-old attorney has raised more money, hired a campaign manager - a luxury she went without last time - and picked up some key labor endorsements.
