...Little Rock, where Clinton is still a favorite son, before 12 jurors, and Jones would need a unanimous verdict to win. That's a big gamble, especially against a man with record approval ratings, whose capacity to get in trouble is exceeded only by the charm he can deploy in getting...
Even the most ardent Saddam hunters have to admit that taking him out would entail a huge, high-risk military operation: months of preparation to deploy thousands of ground troops to fight their way to the Iraqi capital while courting substantial casualties, then arrest or kill him. The U.S. would be pitched into an open-ended occupation and saddled with rescuing a devastated economy...
Forget all the silo-rattling: TIME's Defense Department correspondent, Mark Thompson, says the United States won't deploy nukes against Iraq. Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon had insisted that should Iraq use biological or chemical weapons, America's response would be "decisive and devastating."

Don't believe it, says Thompson: "It's just as it was during the Gulf War ? the response will be strictly conventional and likely massive...
Males have paired sex organs--each called a hemipenis, or half penis--hidden in the base of the tail. Some species, such as common king snakes, deploy these alternatively in successive matings--perhaps, says Greene, to allow more frequent copulation. When Borneo's yellow-lipped sea- kraits breed, as many as half a dozen males may pile on a lone female. Copulation is usually brief but can last more than a day for Western diamondbacks (probably to reduce the female's exposure to rival males). Female snakes too deploy cunning reproductive strategies. North American pit vipers, for example, store sperm...

"Our first opportunity to make a decision to deploy is in the year 2000," said Army Brigadier General JOSEPH COSUMANO, head of the Pentagon's national missile-defense program. It will take another three years, he added, to actually build it. The Pentagon will have what Cosumano called "a rolling three-year deployment capability" to delay deployment into the future. That adds up to--well, who's counting...
