...wouldn't Hollywood open its latest the-Prez-is-dead movie on the 276th birthday of the country's first President? Once we had white sales on the Washington's Day holiday; now we have blood-red fantasies of the killing of a fictional Chief Executive, told in a faux-real style that summons old memories of Nov. 22, 1963, and a more recent nightmare snapshot, from last Dec. 27, of Benazir Bhutto felled by bullets and bombs.

Her own husband had conceded a day earlier that both states are crucial to her survival. "You probably like it that it has come down to Texas," Bill Clinton said while campaigning for her in Beaumont...
...violence at the U.S. embassy in Belgrade that left one person dead and parts of the building damaged by fire on Thursday has provoked a furious reaction in Washington. Speaking at the United Nations, U.S. ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad called the attack an "outrage," and the Security Council passed a resolution reminding the Serb government "of its responsibility to protect diplomatic facilities." The violence came in the wake of a peaceful demonstration by hundreds of thousands of Serbs condemning this week's Western-backed declaration of independence by Kosovo, which has until now been a Serbian province governed under U.N. auspices...
