What's killing the peacekeepers of Europe? That question may be about to plunge NATO into a round of bitter recriminations over ammunition used in the Kosovo war - a conflict that could further strain relations between Europe and the U.S. in a Western alliance whose members are pulling in opposite directions on a number of fronts. NATO and European Union officials are meeting Tuesday to discuss the mounting controversy over the alliance's extensive use of depleted-uranium shells in Kosovo...
...they could obtain of her publicly nuzzling her older beau - elaborating how much money and influence Mottola has. The conclusions were implicit: Mottola chose another gorgeous younger woman, but this time he picked a foreign one to avoid the sort of problems he had with Carey (who conducted bitter public arguments with her "starmaking" hubby); Thalía, having already noted in many interviews that she was "too busy" to sustain a relationship at this stage of her career, suddenly found her "twin" in a man whose wiseguy-wannabe wardrobe earmarks him as a conspicuous consumer (he constructed...

Right now, the followers of both Chairman Arafat and Prime Minister Barak...
...Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Ohio secretary of state who co-chaired the Census Monitoring Board, put it: "Is the juice worth the squeeze? No." After all, the whole thing - which is handled with much wrangling by state legislatures - is likely to be even more bitter in 2000 than it was in 1990, what with the national scales so easily tipped. It's one more partisan fight that a "uniter, not a divider" would want to stay as far away from as possible...
