...Attorney Donald K. Stern-who in 1996 negotiated a $775,000 settlement with Harvard over improprieties in an unrelated case involving its pharmacy-is currently investigating HIID's work consulting for the Russian government in the early 1990s. During this time, members of the HIID team allegedly used their positions for personal gain...
Just as drive-by shootings and other youth violence became a quotidian feature of inner-city life in the 1980s, the episode in Conyers suggested that we may have crossed a threshold at the close of the 1990s. We have suspected for some time that our young people suffer more depression and other mental illness than any previous generation. Perhaps we are now seeing the proof--and the long-term results...
Most of the ethnic Albanian doctors had been fired from their hospitals in the early 1990s, but a few who had skills that the Serbian doctors lacked were allowed to remain.

All three flopped spectacularly--one committing an explosive suicide 41 seconds after liftoff, the others misfiring and stranding their satellites in useless orbits.

The K.L.A., as U.S. officials are quick to point out, is not going to become a 1990s version of the contras, the U.S.-backed insurgent group that fought to overthrow a communist regime in Nicaragua in the 1980s. For starters, no one wants to use the K.L.A. to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic. And no one wants the war to go on long enough for the K.L.A. to assume contra-like proportions. Most important, however, NATO officials are worried that a well-armed and well-trained K.L.A. would veer into...
