...would take an extra million gallons of purified water a day just to counter the dehydration. Last week about 50,000 gallons a day were arriving. The volcanic soil around the camps is so hard it is impossible to drill new wells or dig latrines without heavy mechanical equipment, which is still days away. "What do you mean, I must make sure to boil the water?" refugee Dafrose Kabutumwa asked a reporter. "Can't you see we're all going to die here...
...fact, relief officials counter, the Tutsi victors showed great restraint in their conduct of the four-year civil war and their prescriptions for peace. "The one remarkable thing that we've seen is enormous discipline by the R.P.F. and the Tutsi who have stayed inside Rwanda," says Peter McDermott, senior emergency officer at UNICEF.

With Gergen focusing on foreign policy and McLarty playing a more compartmentalized role, Clinton will hear less of their moderate advice to counter the more liberal outlook of Stephanopoulos. (In fact, one reason Gergen took Gore's offer to go to State is that he knew Stephanopoulos would cut him out of the information loop on domestic-policy questions once McLarty was no longer in a position as chief of staff to protect him.)
