WASHINGTON, D.C.: The news started as just a trickle of letters to Madeline Albright after she was named UN Ambassador in 1993: Information about the European side of her family, the side left behind when her father, Josef Korbel, fled Czechoslovakia after WWII. The trickle grew to a torrent, many from Arab groups questioning her nomination as Secretary of State in December. And on Monday, the surprising story came out in the Washington Post: Madeline Albright, raised a Roman Catholic by her Czech parents, had learned that she has Jewish roots, and that several close relatives, including her paternal grandparents...

What lies on the other side of the bridge? For pessimists the new millennium is time's equivalent of those stretches of pre-Columbian ocean on which European mapmakers wrote, "Here be monsters." Either/or: The imagination projects either apocalypse or high-tech wonders, either hell or heaven. Clinton, whose theology is politics, projects a nation going through the biggest changes since industrialization depopulated the farms 100 years ago. Once a balanced budget is in place, he thinks, the basic source of American political conflict in the past decade will have vanished. The country will be ready to search...
