...Kiowas. Shelton's career went into high gear in Haiti in 1994, when he cut short the U.S. invasion, turned back the bombers and transformed himself from warrior to a diplomat, ousting Raoul Cedras and keeping U.S. casualties low. Shelton also enjoys jangling bureaucrats. In 1996, when his Bosnia-bound troops needed new cold-weather gear, he bypassed the Pentagon's procurement officers, contracted for the garb and had it delivered within 25 days--"at one-third the cost that the average American could purchase it," as he boasts...
Stewart is not alone in putting weight on potential juvenile offenders in Boston. The city's Operation Night Light, which began in 1992, and Operation Cease-Fire, which emerged last year, have unleashed desk-bound probation officers in a drive coordinated with other law-enforcement agencies to keep drugs and weapons off the streets.

"It seems like such a long time since I've had a hug," sighed Aurelie Becker of St. Petersburg, Florida, wearing a blouse that featured a photo of her smiling, Paris-bound teen-age daughter, Michele. FBI Director Louis Freeh, Roman Catholic Cardinal John O'Connor and New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani joined the families at the service. "I'll never forget the love you've all displayed and continue to display to each other," Giuliani told them. "All of us have learned...
...Thompson's potential star witness, Huang may have as much value bound as unbound. The Constitution gives Huang the right to remain silent, but not to avoid a trip to the Capitol. If Thompson wants to compel Huang's appearance, all he needs to do is issue a committee order and, if necessary, get a judge to dispatch U.S. Marshal escorts to Huang's California home. And that would be only the opening act of a great political play...
