ADM Acknowledges Possible Indictments: The Decatur, Ill.-based firm acknowledged that the Justice Department is considering indictments against it and two executives in a federal price-fixing probe.

Praising the advantages of an environmental law that it has criticized, the Bush administration announced agreements Wednesday with Archer Daniels Midland Co. and Alcoa Inc. to reduce air pollution in 16 states. The settlements under the "new source review" provisions of the Clean Air Act will result in nearly $680 million in spending to reduce about 130,000 tons of air pollution a year, Environmental Protection Agency and Justice Department officials said.
