...latest bar to enter the fray is 33 Dunster St., which plans to offer beer brewed on the site. The beer is based on John Harvard's recipe, says owner Gary...
...Bush, master of the self-deprecating gesture -- particularly in the midst of a crisis that might cause other political spouses to lose their sangfroid. In the course of two days, her husband faced accusations of adultery, backpedaled on abortion and overhauled his political team. Mrs. Bush leaped into the fray herself, staking out a position on abortion well to the President's left, criticizing a top Bush aide in public, and then getting in a lick or two of her own at Bill Clinton. "I'm feisty as the dickens," she said in an interview with newsmagazine correspondents...
Gore too will probably join the fray. He predicts a "long, hard fight," and he proved in 1988 that he can give as good as he gets. In fact, it was Mr. Straight himself who first struck at the Massachusetts prison-furlough program, which the Republicans then spun into the infamous Willie Horton commercials.

...domination under the intolerant Milosevic helped speed the secession of Slovenia and Croatia, whose own fanatically nationalist leader fueled fears among the Serb minority there. It was as the savior of the Serbs who live outside Serbia's borders -- nearly one-third of the community -- that Milosevic entered the fray. His strategy has been simple -- and effective. He stirs up Serbs with talk of imminent genocide, then sets his proxies loose to "protect" them, with fatal consequences for Croats and Muslims. Yet he insists that his aim is not the creation of a Greater Serbia, only the preservation of Yugoslavia...
