...Despite the furor over Haider's musings on Nazis, the more troubling issue for the E.U. may be the new government's Europe policy. "Haider isn't actually pro-Nazi and nor are his supporters," says Purvis. "But he isa demagogue whose xenophobic and anti-immigration views are considered dangerous in Europe. Haider opposes plans to expand the European Union into Eastern Europe, and that could create a major problem for the E.U. since they operate by consensus." The People's party, for its part, has affirmed that it remains committed to E.U. enlargement, but European governments will keep...

...Despite the furor over Haider's musings on Nazis, the more troubling issue for the E.U. may be the next Austrian government's policies toward Europe. "Haider's not actually pro-Nazi, nor are his supporters," says Purvis. "But he is a demagogue whose xenophobic and anti-immigration views are considered dangerous in Europe.

Shrum, a relative newcomer to Gore's circle, worked in 1988 for the presidential campaign of Gore's bitterest rival, Dick Gephardt. He has become the public face of the campaign at its trickiest moments--during the furor over Gore's gaffe on a gays-in-the-military litmus test, for instance--and has what Gore aides say is a near psychic ability to anticipate what questions will come up in debates. Widely considered the Democrats' most capable wordsmith, he wrote Ted Kennedy's soaring "the dream shall never die" speech for the 1980 convention as well as the Senator...

...analyst of the O.J. Simpson trial and a specialist in high-society true crime; his own daughter was murdered at a young age. Dunne wrote a thinly veiled novelization of the Moxley case, A Season in Purgatory, which became a best seller and a TV movie. Adding to the furor was a factual account, Greentown, by Greenwich resident Dumas, who related unsavory stories of a young Tommy trying to strangle a fellow prep-school student and Michael "whacking the heads off of squirrels"--with a golf club. The Kennedy Smith rumor resulted in a suggestion by Connecticut medical examiner...

...Underlying the furor is the question of who gets blamed for the tragedy. After all, mechanical problems potentially point back to the manufacturer (or, of course, to EgyptAir's maintenance) and sabotage by a third party raises questions about U.S. airport security. But criminal action by a member of the crew is an uncomfortable prospect for a country whose economy is heavily dependent on tourism. While Washington is prepared to go the extra mile to accommodate Egyptian concerns, Egypt has voluntarily turned over jurisdiction, and the U.S is likely to retain it. "There were a number of Americans on board...
