...moment, that's unlikely to happen. District Judge William Downes, who wrote the decision, stayed its enforcement until the expected blizzard of appeals is exhausted, which could take until well into next year. By that time, the wolves' numbers will surely have increased, making the job of removing the animals all the more difficult--and the battle to protect them all the more fierce. "I will fight with everything I have to keep the wolves in Yellowstone," says Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. After more than a century on the run, the wolves themselves are accustomed to the struggle...
Which is what could happen in California this week. Bauer has inserted himself into a battle between two Republicans in a special election for a House seat in Santa Barbara. The district is made up mostly of fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republicans, which is why Speaker Newt Gingrich was backing Brooks Firestone, an heir to the family tire business who became a winemaker and, since 1994, a moderate, pro-choice state assemblyman. But a furious Bauer ponied up $100,000 for an ad campaign that zings Firestone for his refusal to back a ban on partial-birth abortions and promotes...
Christopher Kennedy, 34, has bucked two second-generation Kennedy trends, becoming a businessman and a Midwesterner. Today he helps run the Merchandise Mart, the Kennedys' downtown-Chicago trade center started by grandfather Joe. Max Kennedy, 32, a University of Virginia law school graduate, was an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia for three years. Last fall he began business school at UCLA.

Youngest child Rory Kennedy, 29, is a documentary filmmaker...

In 1986 he inherited the family's 8th Congressional District, which sent Uncle J.F.K. to Washington in 1946. Joe's planned run for Governor this year was derailed by the baby-sitter problems of his brother and campaign manager Michael. That scandal aggravated a political atmosphere already soured by Shattered Faith, his first wife's bitter best seller about the annulment of their 12-year marriage...
Nowhere worse than in Mexico City. Crime in the capital has risen a staggering 30% or more for each of the past three years. Just one small district, Iztapalapa, saw 154 murders in 1997. Worse, a study has found that 90% of the city's crimes go unpunished, probably because police are committing so many of them. Just days after he took office last month promising to clean up the constabulary, Mexico City's first-ever elected mayor, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas Solorzano of the left-center Democratic Revolution Party, had to dump his newly appointed investigative police chief because...
