...reporters tried hard to find blemishes in the happy face being presented, searching for any stray Buchanan delegate (or Buchanan himself) willing to complain. Usually, though, the displays of journalistic independence were pointless. NBC aired a few minutes of Kay Bailey Hutchison's speech on Tuesday night, then broke away so anchorman Tom Brokaw could summarize the juiciest lines for analyst Tim Russert ("She goes on to say that 'it's time to wake up to President Clinton and his high-taxing, free-spending, promise-breaking...'").

At a special session of parliament on Tuesday, Peres dismissed Netanyahu's offer to withdraw Israeli troops from Syria-controlled Lebanon in exchange for a secure border as "laughable." Peres also tore into Netanyahu for his unenthusiastic offers to the Palestinians, asking what Israel has to gain by insulting Yasser Arafat. The attack is just the sort of loyal opposition Peres is expected to provide; to date, he's been missing in action, letting other members of the party mount...
