...federal judge has ordered PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat to give a deposition in a lawsuit concerning the 1985 slaying of an American aboard a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton gave Arafat until January 12 to give his deposition, and said the PLO could be held liable if he does not cooperate in the suit. A New Jersey travel agency filed the lawsuit, which blames a PLO faction for the 3-day hijacking of the Achille Lauro and the murder of Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound elderly man, whom terrorists threw into the sea off Egypt...

Many others will be aboard trains rumbling through Austria and the Czech Republic en route to jumping-off points in Hungary, from which they will advance 50-odd miles across Croatia into Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Because Forbes is not dependent on fund raising or federal matching grants, he can stay in the race as long as he wants...
...FORCE LION are convinced that they will be the first Americans into Bosnia to police the peace. For weeks the advance unit's 1,000 soldiers have prepared at the vast Hohenfels training center in northern Bavaria. They have parachuted out of Air Force transports, clattered to landing zones aboard Chinook helicopters and roared over the countryside in Bradley fighting vehicles. Their exercises, code-named Mountain Shield, were tightly coordinated with the U.S. 1st Armored Division and 3rd Infantry Division, which subsequently conducted operation Mountain Eagle 95 with 10,000 troops earmarked for Bosnian peacekeeping duty...
