Hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have Israel's enemies quaking, but on the home front a 21-year-old nanny has him on the defensive. Tanya Shaw, fired by Netanyahu's wife Sara for burning a pot of soup, went public with stories of working from 6:30 a.m. to midnight, and enduring Sara's screaming fits. So far a stream of press leaks has backed Shaw's tales...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Benjamin Netanyahu wowed Congress Wednesday in a speech to both Houses that showed the Israeli Prime Minister to be on the same economic page as House Republicans.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's first popularly elected prime minister, was en route to Washington Monday for his first meeting with President Clinton since he narrowly won the May 16 election. The conservative Netanyahu's mission: to win over Clinton, who had made clear his preference for former Prime Minister Shimon Peres and the Middle East peace negotiations he had championed. Netanyahu, by contrast, campaigned on promises that could halt the peace talks in their tracks: he vowed not to cede the Golan Heights to Syria, not to stop Jewish settlements in the West Bank...
