...danger is that Clinton's implacable critics, armed with the Cox report, will vent their outrage on the entire Sino-American relationship. They are right to slam the door on Chinese spying, but a sizable number sound ready to turn China into the New Enemy. Washington hardheads talk of holding up the annual renewal of China's normal trade relations (the new bureaucratic label for most-favored- nation trading status) or blocking its entry into the World Trade Organization...
...growing array of critics contend that the air campaign is doing too little too slowly. The allies, they warn, must fight harder if they are to prevail before NATO unity collapses under a crush of divergent political pressures. Statistically, U.S. pilots were in greater danger of dying during peacetime flights last year than while bombing Serbia last month. Too many laser-guided bombs are going astray and killing innocent civilians. Just last Friday, NATO mistakenly hit a Kosovo rebel base near the capital, Pristina.

...true the Apaches' mission raises the threshold of danger. They would fly at night with their lights out. They'd skim less than 100 ft. over the mountainous terrain at only slightly more than 100 m.p.h.

We've also been criticized for glorifying the perpetrators by putting their pictures on the air and in our pages. But I feel it's important to see how "normal" these kids can look and to worry a bit more whether they could...
Where have you gone, Joe McCarthy, oh, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you.... Yes folks, Republican efforts to warn Americans of the danger of fuzzy liberals in charge of the nation's political system -- and its nuclear secrets -- are about to go into overdrive. On Tuesday, Representative Christopher Cox plans to release the report of his congressional inquiry, containing "grave" revelations of Chinese nuclear espionage that "continues to this very day." The Cox committee's star witness, former Energy Department intelligence chief Notra Trulock, on Sunday warned that this was the biggest thing since the Rosenbergs...
