A top Senate Democrat threatened to hold members of the Bush administration in contempt for not producing subpoenaed information about the legal justification for President Bush's secretive eavesdropping program.

"When the Senate comes back in the session, I'll bring it up before the committee," said Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I prefer cooperation to contempt. Right now, there's no question that they are in contempt of the valid order of the Congress."

ILLINOIS New law tunes up teen driving rules

Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed into law a sweeping overhaul of state rules of the road for teen drivers, setting stringent licensing requirements.

When the bill takes effect Jan. 1, it will give parents a stronger role in teaching teens to drive by tripling the learner's permit period to nine months.

Reducing teen crashes is at the heart of the law, which places restrictions on passengers in teen-driven vehicles and limits nighttime driving.
