Senate Democrats, in a growing challenge to President Clinton and European allies, lined up behind Republican leader Bob Dole as the Senate voted 69-29 to end the U.S. arms embargo on Bosnia. The bipartisan clamor grew despitea NATO agreementjust hours earlier to seek pre-emptive air strikes on rebel Serbs in the region. "There's only one thing that's going to protect the Bosnian people againstthe Serb expansion," said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who waved published reports of continued Serb aggression. "And that is if they're allowed to defend themselves." More significant, Senate Republicans have secured...
Those who know Levin, however, consider that unlikely to be the decisive factor. More probably, it will be mounting pressure from-and increasing attention to-what appears to be a very real clamor on behalf of common sense and public sensibilities. "It's a real moment for Time Warner to decide what it is," says a senior Warner Music executive. The likeliest outcome at the moment, though, is that his division will not be entirely pleased by the answer...
...show called Friends, which he and Danny Wilde had been asked to record. But after they added their two cents to the song, he got to like it.

It's just that no one wants to confront the fact that in 1995, kids are having...
...improvements. Lead, for instance, slows mental and physical development in children. The increasing use of lead-free gasoline around the world vastly reduces these ills. But banning leaded gas is a regulation, and REGULATION, as conservatives know, is what the Devil has printed on his T shirt. So lawmakers clamor for a risk-assessment bill that could be used (among other mischief) to end the phase-out of ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons. Dollar benefits of regulations must justify dollar costs. Fine. Sounds good. But how do you measure the dollar benefit of brighter first-graders and an ozone layer that blocks...
