"We don't do that very often--perhaps once or twice a year," says Dr. Gregory Curfman, a deputy editor. "We do it only when the public-health significance is fairly immediate...
Before the CLINTONS and BLAIRS relaxed over champagne and a convivial dinner in London last week, the Boomer Buddies huddled about Iran. Enraged by its terrorism, its pursuit of nuclear weapons and its attempts to spoil Middle East peace, Clinton long ago imposed a trade embargo on Iran and has regularly denounced the regime. But with the new reform-minded cleric President, MOHAMMED KHATAMI, has Clinton softened on the regime?

Twice in recent weeks, U.S. Navy warships have been...
...life-threatening food shortage," noting that its current state-provided rations have been reduced to only 3 1/2 ounces daily for each person, a fraction even of the 22 ounces refugees receive in U.N.-supported camps in Africa. The Clinton Administration last week eased its 47-year trade embargo on North Korea by allowing non-governmental organizations to provide food aid to the North. The North Korean official, who was not identified, was quoted as thanking the United States for its help. North Korea is poised to enter talks, to be brokered by the U.S. and China, with the South...
