China, however, won't likely disappear as a flash point. Bush plans to slide-tackle the Administration for placing relations with Beijing ahead of those with the U.S.'s Asian allies. Last week Condoleezza Rice, Bush's top foreign policy adviser, took a swing at Clinton for bypassing Tokyo en route to a summit in Beijing last summer: "You wouldn't see the Governor go to China for nine days and not go to Japan and South Korea." It was an opening shot in what promises to be a sustained and challenging salvo for Gore...

...today's teen audience, those days are deader than the Dark Ages. But the high school worries about pride and friendship and whether one should pack Tic Tac or gum on a date are timeless. On a wedding day three pals (Richard T.

...parties now have until October to review their positions, but although the peace plan has broken down, it?s unlikely that war will resume. The loyalist marching season - always a flash point for communal violence - is over, and the fact of continued talks will likely restrain the major paramilitary organizations from breaching their cease-fire commitments. Low-key talks are to continue throughout the summer, and Britain still hopes to persuade the paramilitary groups to stick to the plan to negotiate a timetable for decommissioning weapons with Canadian mediator General John de Chastelain. Last Easter, Mitchell appeared to achieve...
