...appears, are most Americans. Bingeing on a diet of local news stories that graphically depict crime invading once safe ports -- schools, restaurants, courtrooms, homes, libraries -- Americans are rapidly coming to regard the summer of '93 as a season in hell.

Reflecting on those battles, most U.S. experts advise caution in appraising last week's election, even if it did downsize the Liberal Democrats, with 223 seats, into the largest minority party in the 511-seat Diet. What the election results suggest, says former Assistant Secretary of State William Clark, is "a voting public that is unhappy with the leadership of the L.D.P., but not necessarily with its policies...
