Meanwhile, the plight of Yellowstone's buffalo only gets worse. As riflemen dispatched more than 50 animals last week, hundreds of others, weak from hunger, lumbered through the thick drifts trying to stave off starvation by chewing on whatever bark and pine needles they could reach. Some good will is coming from the situation, however. Meat from the slain animals, properly treated, is being distributed to needy Indians and other groups...
...weeks, all the pundits have been saying that Dole had to attack President Clinton on policy, on character and on ethics. With Clinton resting on a double-digit lead, the former senator needed to bark louder, even as he continued to control his bite.

Barksdale's approach, at the very least, could someday lead to a kinder and gentler Valley culture. Whether Netscape's bottom line can hack that remains to be seen, but Bark believes his company deserves a little breathing room. "It's not a total win-lose game," he says. "I don't think anybody is going to have the dominant position in a network-centric world like they had in a desktop-centric world. I just cannot believe that." He pauses...
