...Germans, as they hand Clinton the International Charlemagne Prize for his contributions to world peace and European unity Friday, will complain that a "Star Wars"-type missile defense system could kick off a new multinational arms race and decouple America's and Europe's security interests by isolating the U.S. behind the shield of its dreams. Expect similar resistance at Clinton's weekend summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin: the pair may finalize a deal to each destroy 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium, but White House aides are setting expectations very, very low on the Star Wars discussions...
...years, but no one belabored the obvious. Giuliani stopped wearing his wedding ring; he brought Nathan to the Times Square millennium bash on Dec. 31 and the St. Patrick's Day Parade in March, but the press reported nothing about her.

"It's not as if the U.S. is out there aggressively stabilizing Kosovo and pursuing nation-building. Congress isn't exactly pushing U.S. troops to go out and take risks...
...studies, though, show that the bombing has hurled haunting levels of toxins into Vieques' air, water and fishing grounds--which some believe is why the cay has a 27% higher cancer rate than the main island. And because Vieques has some of the Caribbean's most exquisite beaches, locals complain that the Navy exercises have blighted tourism. Julio Rosa's sister Carmen, lost a breast to cancer a decade ago. (She lived a few miles downwind from the explosions.) He looks out from the helm of the Garata and says simply, "We have real-life issues here...
