Unfortunately, Governor Bush is too often identified with this extremist wing of the NRA, and therefore many Americans view him as a reactionary who wants unlimited access to weapons for all individuals. In reality, Bush supports an expansion of the instant check system which is tied in to the Brady Bill, a juvenile assault weapons ban, child safety locks for all handguns and a ban on importation of high-capacity ammunition clips. While some people inexplicably believe that Bush's plans have not accounted for children's safety (especially in light of the recent school shootings), they should note that...
...heavy scents of bougainvillaea and manure mingle in the hot afternoon air at Shikmim Farm. Ariel Sharon pulls down the brim of his black Australian bush hat--a Jewish Crocodile Dundee. On his thick fingers, he is counting off the names his political enemies hurl at him: "Hard-liner. Extremist. Rightist. War criminal." His 1,500 acres on the edge of the Negev Desert is one of the few private farms in Israel and a refuge from the controversy that has followed him through 55 years in the military and in politics. Sharon, 72, the leader of Israel's right...
...purpose of clearly arguing which candidate should. As this magazine's TV critic, I always like to see a new generation pay homage to the classics; for instance, that pro-Bush group's "remake" of Daisy, the 1964 Lyndon B.

The new version accused Clinton and Gore of making America vulnerable to nuclear attack from "communist red China" (reminding voters under 45 what "red" means). A new pro-Gore ad assailed Bush...
More blew apart than the 22 lbs. of explosives in the car on Shomron Street. Yasser Arafat's shaky entente with Palestinian Islamic extremists also perished in the blast. Throughout the bloody weeks of the Aqsa intifadeh--named for the holy site that inspired the latest clashes--the Chairman had taken a line with the Israelis so hard that Hamas and Islamic Jihad were prepared to take a back seat, for the most part. But all along they watched him warily, worried that he would abandon their hard-line tactics in favor of diplomatic dealmaking. When he did, by striking...
American Intelligence Agencies now strongly suspect that the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a Cairo-based extremist group that is part of OSAMA BIN LADEN's loose network, may have carried out the Oct. 12 attack in Yemen on the U.S.S. Cole. But unless the Yemeni regime allows the FBI access to witnesses and suspects, that may never be proved. The Yemenis are refusing to let U.S. agents join Yemeni authorities in conducting interviews. On Friday FBI Director Louis Freeh and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appealed to President Ali Abdullah Saleh to let FBI agents "work as partners" with Yemeni cops...
