...Rice and her colleagues make a compelling critique, and they're putting forward some pretty sound principles, guided by an ethos of caution, focus and consultation. Their starting point is the national interest, and they recommend a prudent application of power in its pursuit. And that may be a more honest framework for action than lofty humanitarian principles that can be easily made to look hypocritical when Washington is prepared to start an air war in support of the Kosovars but can't lift a finger in support of the Chechens, the Sierra Leoneans, Rwandans and others.

It might be prudent to say that if you're predisposed to RA - whether because you possess the other risk factors or because you have a genetic susceptibility - it might be wise to cut back on the morning brew.

With typical scientific caution, docs are advising nervous users to keep their calls short and to invest in that earpiece/microphone contraption that keeps the phone antenna as far away from the caller's head as possible (and coincidentally also makes everyone look like they're carrying on a fascinating conversation with themselves...

Missile defense remains overwhelmingly popular on Capitol Hill, and the Republicans would pounce on any caution by the administration to proclaim candidate Gore as soft on security. The test failure, though, gives both Clinton and Gore new latitude to simply delay committing to a final decision, inoculating Gore against Republican attack at the same time as placating Moscow and Beijing...
