...Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell and the more robust preferences of Defense Secretary Les Aspin and National Security Adviser Anthony Lake. When the President was asked at his news conference on Friday how he evaluated the options, his body language spoke volumes. He rolled his eyes, taking a deep breath and a long pause before saying he was "reluctant" to talk about them in public. But yes, he conceded, tougher steps were being considered...
...that hangs, like a glider beefed up to the size of a DC-3, from the roof of the East Building of Washington's National Gallery of Art. Calder's genius in the '20s and '30s was for making extraordinarily delicate and literally "wiry" sculptures that danced at a breath. However close you got to them, they still seemed distant in their fragility; in extreme cases, like the wonderful Tightrope, 1937, with its wire personages balancing on a string between two balks of wood, they are so fine as to be almost unphotographable. Real as the pleasures of early Calder...
...from here to a successful term is clear. The President needs to recall and display the skills that won him the prize. He needs to open up, reach out and calm down.

At all hours, agents blast harrowing noises out of loudspeakers -- the squeals of rabbits being slaughtered, the whine of a dentist's drill, the thunder of locomotives -- presumably in the hope that the Davidians might yield...
...drugs and rock 'n' roll. Drugs have long been viewed as part of the culture of rock music. Jim Morrison. Jimi Hendrix. Live fast, die young. In-a- gadda-da-vida, baby. But throughout the just-say-no '80s, rockers and rappers held their collective breath. When would it be safe to inhale? Now, with the '90s, many musicians feel that the cultural tide has shifted -- so they're going public about marijuana use and celebrating the weed in song lyrics. Once again, pop music is going...
