...apology -- from the Clinton team three weeks ago, and turned it down. The Wednesday press release was an apparent rebuttal to a TIME report that Jones' team, lost in the shuffle of the Lewinsky scandal, was eager to settle. But Jones' attorneys claimed that Mitchell S. Ettinger, second-in-command to Clinton's lead counsel, Robert S.

The cruise missiles will come crashing through the windows and walls of Iraq's main military command-and-communications centers. Over the crump and flame of those explosions will sound the roar of low-flying F-117 stealth attack planes as they swoop undetected over air-defense centers--the computer-filled offices that direct missile fire against airborne attackers--drilling their targets with 2,000-lb. laser...
...addition, a healthy Joe-Max Moore returns to the team for another season. Lately, Moore has been a mainstay of the U.S. National Team, and he could even command a spot in the team's first eleven in the World Cup finals this summer...
