...Clinton's second term. Certain to be a central topic at the labor conference is the President's offer to curb Medicare spending by $14 billion more than he proposed last winter. Gore will have to defend the larger cut, which White House aides insist was a necessary good-faith gesture toward congressional Republicans. But Gephardt can say the White House is giving away too much, too early. In his first public reaction to Clinton's new Medicare number, the Missouri Democrat said it "sounds high to me." Privately, he's telling those around him that Clinton's offer leaves...
John Travolta and Tom Cruise may be just pop-culture icons to you and me, but in Germany their faith in the preachings of science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard is politically taboo; Scientology is deemed not a religion but a suspect movement whose activities verge on the dangerous edges of extremism.

In the Deep Midwinter not only shows how love can lead to suffering, but also, more interestingly, points out how suffering can lead to love...
...Schultz' wife looked on. Du Pont barricaded himself in the family mansion, holding out against an army of police officers for two days. Du Pont's past bizarre behavior is the basis of the insanity plea his defense team will put forth, though even they seem to put little faith in the tactic. Defense attorney Thomas Bergstrom, when interviewing potential jury members, repeatedly asked if they thought the insanity defense was a "lawyer's trick," or a "legal loophole." Pennsylvania has strict standards for proving insanity, and juries are often skeptical of it as a defense...
