...rally Arab leaders around a revamped policy of containing Saddam. The summit signaled that there may be common ground on the eventual need to lift sanctions that hurt Iraqi citizens, yet at the same time to keep watch on Saddam's military expansion. Arab allies may continue to complain about U.S. air strikes in defense of "no-fly" zones in northern and southern Iraq. But Kuwaiti and Saudi officials seem in no hurry to close the U.S. air bases in their countries. Containment, though, is no long-term solution to the Saddam problem. The running sore of the Israeli-Palestinian...
...blood between wife and mother-in-law is nothing new. But the rancor is highly public in this case. Rose and her children (ages 22, 20 and 16) complain that Florence suddenly reappeared after years of distance from Robert. Florence denies there was any estrangement and snipes in return that Robert stayed with his wife only for their children's sake...
What Fong did not seem to see, and what many white Harvard students seem to forget, when we complain that certain groups keep to themselves, is how many of our friends are not white.

Yet to Gallagher, he is still the fearless man who arrived in steerage, took jobs selling bananas (eating nothing but), delivering wet laundry in tenements before running his own garage. His only child finds that she can't tell...
...terminally addicted to Clinton coverage? Um, well..."You complain that Clinton won't go away, but you won't let him, because he sells magazines," an angry reader in Boston griped to us. "The media's obsession with Bill Clinton is like rubbernecking at a car accident," observed a woman from Simpsonville, S.C. "Nice people aren't supposed to do that." A Las Vegas reader asked, "If you want Clinton to disappear, why don't you stop following him around?" And a New Yorker, who felt that TIME will never quit Clinton cold turkey, wrote, "I can only hope your...
