Gingrich was particularly fascinated by Engler's strategic savvy. Kristol recalls that after the government shutdown failed to push the President into a budget deal and forced Gingrich to abandon the strategy, on Jan. 6 the exhausted Speaker sought out Engler, who was in town. "It was striking that after this momentous day in his leadership, he wanted to bounce ideas off John more than anyone else," says Kristol. The three rendezvoused in a Hyatt hotel coffee shop. "John had the insight that you couldn't force Clinton to do things," says Kristol, but that the Congress could send...
LONDON: In the wake of an IRA bombing which killed two, injured 37 and caused $125 million in property damage, Prime Minister John Major announced that Britain would not necessarily abandon peace talks with the organization.

If the suspect signal should then reappear in the same location, Leigh says, "alarms won't go off, but the computer will send us E-mail." And unlike earlier SETI programs, which sometimes signaled "hits" that after much excitement and analysis turned out to be beeps from prosaic Earthbound or orbiting electronic sources, BETA methodically compares signals from space to signals...
Because this year, young America cannot afford to throw its hands up in disgust; this year, young America cannot afford to give up on our political system; this year, young America cannot afford to abandon the political debate that is about to take place--because if it does, it will find itself severely punished with suffocating taxes, a much lower standard of living and exacerbated social problems in the 21st century...
