And Ira Magaziner, chief architect of the now abandoned Clinton plan, is gamely working with Senator Harris Wofford of Pennsylvania and other Senate liberals on a "Kids First" plan to extend insurance to children who now lack it.

He also left the show looking for a new angel. If Bethel's crew can land on their feet, the show will...

Mobil is rushing to sink a well this summer in defiance of a claim by China, which insists that its international waters extend as far as the Blue Dragon site. Beijing meanwhile has granted a small U.S. oil company, Crestone Energy Corp., a concession just east of Blue Dragon in waters claimed by Vietnam; Hanoi is looking for a company to explore the same site...
