Since the early 1970s Kabila has waged a haphazard and by several accounts rather incompetent struggle against Mobutu's government from the jungle highlands around Lake Tanganyika.

Members want to see procedural safeguards set in place, such as providing competent counsel for all defendants and federal review of state cases for the 3,000-plus Americans on death row. The vote will find little support from conservative...
Betting that the Republicans are on the run, Burch wants to link incumbent Bob Ney to Newt Gingrich and contends that the 18th District has been hurt by haphazard G.O.P. cuts in the federal budget that will hurt programs for schools and small businesses.
