...outlaw spirit. "I always smoked when I was pregnant," announced G. Gordon Liddy's wife to a companion. A batch of half-looped Young Turks at the bar cheered as the jukebox played the Eagles' Get Over It, a slam against self-discovery: "Bitch about the present and blame it on the past./ I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little a----." Up at Renaissance, things were running according to form. Despite temperatures in the 30s, many participants dutifully jogged the beach before their 8 a.m. seminar. Two (unacquainted) participants compared the panels to "interactive...
REGARDLESS OF THE SHORTCOMINGS OF the CWA, I place most of the blame for Elisa's death on people in the neighborhood who knew this family. Awilda Lopez, a brutish beast of a woman who unmercifully abused Elisa and beat her to death, could not have got away with this if someone had stopped by to question and report her as many times as was necessary to get the child away from her mother.

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee warned. "The amendment is not going to go away," and tied its failure to opposition from President Clinton. Hatch vows to bring it up again in the next Congress...
...Clinton was assured a second term as President [CAMPAIGN '96, Nov. 20]. Ironically the assurance came from an unlikely source: a new Republican named Colin Powell. All that is left of the 1996 presidential campaign now that Powell has decided not to run is the rhetoric, vitriol, insults and blame. This will be Bob Dole's last hurrah, and afterward everything will go back to being the way it was in Washington. CARLOS R. CASTILLO Miami...
