Takeouts: Holder hearings, retailers, listeners
Washington Takeout: Todd Zwillich was at a hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday where Attorney General Eric Holder defended his decision to try confessed 9/11 ‘mastermind’ Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court in New York.
Business Takeout: Retailers are struggling this holiday season, but luxury sellers like Saks Fifth Avenue are cutting inventory, so consumers can’t count on blowout sales. New York Times reporter Louise Story explains this novel approach.
Listeners: We received a lot of responses to yesterday’s story about a physicians’ group recommending people wait for particular cancer screenings.
