...weeks, the army's hurry-up-and-wait tradition had been borne out amply and with sore discomfort as units of the 1st Armored Division were ordered to roll south on the double from Germany. First, many soldiers who arrived by dribs and drabs in Kaposvar, Hungary, had to cool their heels for a week in former Scud-missile sheds while the bridge was built over the Sava River. Now more G.I.s are actually in Bosnia, going on patrol, watching out for mines and, of course, griping about the lodgings and the cold...
Republican presidential hopeful Richard Lugar released an ad Thursday that portrays him as the only cool head in the field on gun control.

"We've sweated blood and cracked our knuckles, and pretty much we've come to the determination that at 1:35 a.m., people are . asleep. But I've worked in the twilight zones of television before, and it's always been fine with me. I've just been grateful to have...
...Hebron is scheduled to be turned over to the Palestinians in March. TIME's Jamil Hamad reports from the West Bank: "The changing of the guard continues to go smoothly. The children giving the roses and olive branches to the soldiers was an attempt by the Palestinian Authority to cool down the Palestinians in Hebron. It seemed to work.
