...counter-revolutionaries? The latest TIME/CNN Election Monitor surveyed Americans who voted in '94 for GOP contenders for Congress. The poll found a cohort of deserters large enough to give Democrats high hopes. The current turncoats tend to be Democrats who strayed and are returning home.

Job opportunities in many academic fields are expected to improve in anticipation of the large cohort of faculty members who will retire in the 1990s.

In a leaflet, the military wing purportedly acceded. Ghazi, however, insists the document was a fraud. "I tell you frankly and clearly, there is no truce," he says. "We will continue...
