Clinton keeps her hopes alive
Senator Hillary Clinton scored a critical victory last night in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary, adding one more key swing state to her win column and setting up yet another showdown with Senator Barack Obama in two weeks in Indiana and North Carolina. (By Scott Helman and Susan Milligan, Boston Globe)
NEWS ANALYSIS
Contest's losers: all who wanted it to end
The Pennsylvania primary - one of the hardest-fought political duels in recent history - ended with a seemingly unspectacular result: Hillary Clinton doing about what she'd been expected to do - win solidly, but not overwhelmingly - and Barack Obama performing decently enough. (By Peter S. Canellos, Boston Globe)

Last week, hard plastic baby and water bottles were not considered harmful. Now, in the eyes of many users, they are toxic. Yesterday, CVS said it will join Wal-Mart, bottle-maker Nalgene, and other companies in pulling tens of thousands of the shatter-proof, transparent products off store shelves. (By Beth Daley, Boston Globe)
