...anybody can make anti-establishment liberalism cool again, one guess is it?s Warren Beatty. He rapped leftie litanies in "Bulworth," got pink in "Reds" and went up against a vast right-wing conspiracy in "The Parallax View" (not to mention pretty much embodying the shaggy-haired, hard-partying Love Generation for the meat of his career). Now he?s coyly hinting about pulling the ultimate anti-Reagan as an actor running for President -? from somewhere to the left of Bill Bradley. "It?s no secret that I am a liberal Democrat," told the New York Times on Wednesday, making...
KFOR commander General Sir Michael Jackson said last weekend that the KLA leadership was not fully in control of its "hard-liners." But this may have simply been a polite warning -? observers agree that KLA leader Hashem Thaci, despite political support from Washington, is himself one of the movement?s leading hard-liners.

Deputy District Attorney Dennis Hall of Jefferson County has little doubt: "It's like buying stolen property and getting it on the cheap. It's hard to believe that they didn't know it was obtained illegally...
Besides the fear of stirring up mainland Catholics, Beijing is also struggling with the challenge presented by Taiwan?s refusal to back down from its attempts to be treated as a separate state and by an increasing challenge from hard-liners in the Communist Party to put the brakes on an economic reform program which has dramatically increased social instability in China. But barring the pontiff may not help Beijing?s long-term goals. "People in Hong Kong view this as a sign of increasing intervention and control by Beijing in violation of the ?One Country, Two Systems? principle under...
