Whether or not the council passes the reform this week, the Campus Life Committee has been continually undermined all year. If the Council continues in its present direction, the Committee will be relegated to an organization which puts on Harvard-Yale events and, maybe, shuttle buses to the airport. The Harvard community will not see any campus-wide social events and our overtures to the administration to attempt to bring a big name band to campus and repeat events like the Gala Ball will be discontinued. It is easy to say that student groups deserve more money. No one disputes...
LIBREVILLE, Gabon: Mobutu Sese Seko emerged from a summit of his francophone allies insisting he would return to Kinshasa and hold elections while finally acknowledging he is too ill to be a candidate. But as night fell in Gabon, the presidential plane still sat in the Libreville airport. The possibility remains that despite his protestations, the 66-year-old dictator will end his 32-year reign by flying not south to Kinshasa but north to France. "Even if Mobutu does fly to France, he will almost certainly still be vowing to return to Zaire," says TIME's Peter Graff from...
...unexpectedly bloody battle in Kenge, 120 miles east of the capital. Reportedly 300 people, including 100 civilians, have already been killed. Kinshasa's defense has reportedly been joined by Rwandan and Angolan mercenaries propping up Mobutu's tattered forces. Rebels also said French mercenaries were holding down Kinshasa's airport.

KINSHASA, Zaire: Confusion overtook the planned Friday summit between Mobuto Sese Seko and rebel leader Laurent Kabila when the embattled Zairian president didn't show up for his flight, leaving some befuddled Zairian Cabinet ministers waiting at the Kinshasa airport. Government officials said the meeting was now slated for Saturday, while rebel spokesman Bizima Karaha was pushing for Sunday. South African officials, meanwhile, were still insisting that the summit would take place on Friday as planned. U.S. envoy Bill Richardson is now trying to salvage the peace talks...
...jail. And cases that should be won are lost. The specifics have become a martyrs' lament: Waco. Ruby Ridge. Filegate. Richard Jewell. By last Saturday, the embattled Freeh was ready to break his trademark silence in an interview with TIME. "They very regularly report the bumpy landings at National Airport. You rarely hear about the safe landings," he argues. "We do many, many good things every day. Children are saved, explosive devices are defused, pedophiles are arrested, gangs are taken off the streets. I'm not saying we shouldn't be criticized for the mistakes we make...
