...gave U.S. diplomats the name of the hotel Trie was holed up in, and they passed that along to Burton. But that hasn't permitted investigators to get any closer to their quarry. China considers Trie to be in the country legally, and the U.S. has no right to compel his testimony while he's there. Burton will certainly ask for more help from the Administration and Beijing in coaxing Trie to talk. But you won't find the Clinton camp up nights worrying about Charlie.

In recent weeks, the U.S. has faltered in its support of a relief package to Zairian refugees. Perhaps President Clinton's hesitancy and apathy in this matter could have been reversed by a few hundred informed letters from concerned college students. Unfortunately, political refugees in Zaire pale in importance among Harvard students to poor Lowell House residents who must somehow survive three years without a frozen yogurt machine...
