Nevada Small-Business Owner Hears Directly from President Bush at Luncheon Address Touching on one of the most important issues for Main Street, President Bush argued forcefully for passage of a Senate bill that would allow small-business owners to band together across state lines in order to form the same large purchasing pools for health care that are allowed to big business, big labor, and big government. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is the state and nation’s largest small-business advocacy group. Small-business owners produced 100 percent of all net new jobs, according to the latest research by the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy. www.nfib.com /object/IO_16264?_templateId=315

Bob Dylan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Later in 1967, the Hawks (soon to be rechristened as The Band) independently recorded the album Music From Big Pink, thus beginning a long and successful recording and performing career of their own. Neither Kooper nor Brooks wanted to tour with Dylan, and he was unable to lure his preferred band, a crew of west coast musicians best known for backing Johnny Rivers, featuring guitarist James Burton and drummer Mickey Jones, away from their regular commitments. He recorded Planet Waves with The Band; like New Morning, Planet Waves was initially viewed as a return to peak form, but in retrospect appears less substantial (although "Forever Young" has proved to be one of Dylan's most lasting songs). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bob_Dylan   (7011 words)
