...will run a bear for hours until they corner it in a tree. The canines are sometimes fitted with telemetry gear that can radio their location back to a team of hunters in pickup trucks, who then move in for an easy kill. Too often their shots are not fatal, detractors say. "Anyone who has ever heard the screams of an animal being torn apart by dogs knows why we are fighting for this cause," says Stew Churchwell of Idaho Sportsmen for Fair Hunting...
Just as the president was ready to appear and make his speech, a CNN reporter who had made the fatal mistake of using the rest room at the wrong time tried to get back through to her seat. Since her crew was safely inside the arena, she had to fend for herself. She backed up 20 feet and got a running start. Microphone pointing the way, she ran straight into me, figuring once I was knocked out, entrance would be easy. As I restrained her and yelled for my supervisor, she tried to be rational.

...this point, one has to understand that the primary responsibility of the Palestinian police is not to serve as agents of the Israeli government within Palestinian territory, but to protect civilians and Palestinian public and private property.

...AIDS Education Outreach (AEO) program, in concert with the task force on HIV policies, worked with UHS in an effort to get anonymous testing offered. For this we applaud them sincerely.

Anonymous testing is a very important part of this process because it allows people who want to get tested--but are afraid of who will find out--to do so. Knowing is more than half the battle. Too often, contracting...
...Clinton drew nominal primary challengers and no general election competition to become Arkansas' attorney general. Same story in 1978, when he became the nation's youngest governor. Even after a near-fatal defeat in his 1980 re-election bid, Clinton faced a weak incumbent in 1982. Skipping forward 10 years, he won the Democratic nomination for president from a field widely considered the party's second-string, and went on to face George Bush, who was not exactly grounded in the political reality of his time. Now, in 1996, he faces Bob Dole. Tough...
