...November, the fastest pace ever. Now Clinton is about to get a windfall: 1994 is likely to be the year in which the reluctant recovery finally kicks into gear. When TIME gathered six leading economists to assess the 1994 outlook, there was not a Cassandra among them: they foresaw the strongest U.S. growth since the late 1980s combined with continued low inflation and gradually falling unemployment. "I describe my forecast as 'the best of all possible worlds,' " said a buoyant Edward Yardeni, chief economist for the investment firm C.J. Lawrence...

Where that would lead, he wondered, "no one can tell; perhaps it may leave a vacuum fit to receive other systems." In America's third century, that vacuum has been filled to overflowing...

...after the Yanks go. Boutros-Ghali remarks that France, Italy, Belgium, Jordan and Tunisia are already talking about pulling out even before the U.S. does. Aidid could smile ingratiatingly until the pullout and then launch a new drive for control. Then Somalia could plunge into precisely the disasters Clinton foresaw resulting from an immediate American bug-out: renewed clan warfare, anarchy, brutality and starvation...
