...foreign policy aides to get cracking on diplomacy to cool off the Kurds. As Iraqi forces moved north, Clinton fired off a strong warning to Saddam that military intervention in Kurd affairs was "not an action he could take without paying a price." To no avail. On the eve of the Iraqi attack, the Administration was issuing public denunciations of Saddam, and by the time his troops reached Erbil the next day the President had fixed on the U.S. response...
...this is a problem was dramatically illustrated when, on the eve of the G.O.P. convention, family values keynoter Susan Molinari, 38, was outed as a former pot user. "Mustang Susan," as she was soon dubbed, quickly trotted out the "youthful-experimentation" defense, an option not available to vice-presidential short-lister Connie Mack, whose shot at the ticket can't have been helped by news that he was still lighting...
...paraphrase against the original documents. The result thus carries more scholarly authority than The Living Bible, but it remains remarkably similar in language to its popular predecessor.

To the disgust of the Goldwater faction, he had spent much of the 1960 campaign courting Nelson Rockefeller, the lustrous epitome of the party's East Coast liberals.

Goldwater compared the meeting to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation to Hitler at Munich. For the final insult, Nixon chose Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge...
...apartment. If Dole chooses Kemp as his Number Two on Saturday, it will be a surprising personal choice given their past history, but could prove politically prudent, says TIME's John Dickerson. "Bob Dole has plenty of reasons to hate Jack Kemp," says Dickerson. "Kemp endorsed Forbes on the eve of the New York primary, they were rivals for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination and Kemp nearly messed up Dole's economic message. But Kemp is a national candidate who would help Dole with women, help him with social issues, and help him in California." While Kemp...
