...help-line maitre d'. The wait, he said, "might be as long as an hour." It was two. "Is this some kind of record?" I exploded when at last a support guy answered. "Nope," he said with a chuckle. Two hours later, after taking me on a hellish tour of "msconfig"--an apparently pointless Windows 98 diagnostic tool--he admitted he couldn't fix the machine. He said I'd need to reinstall Windows 98. When I told him I didn't have my Win98 boot disc (a floppy disc that helps kick-start your machine by circumventing the hard...
...growing anti-U.S. backlash, and politicians such as Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad complain that Rubin, Greenspan and Summers--and their henchmen at the International Monetary Fund--have turned nations like Malaysia and Russia into leper colonies by isolating them from global capital and making life hellish in order to protect U.S. growth. The three admit they've made hard choices--and they'll even cop to some mistakes--but they still believe that a strong U.S. economy is the last, best hope for the world...
...Horwitz's course, Historical Study B-61, "The Warren Court and the Pursuit of Justice," attracted so many students that a restricting lottery was necessary.

Last Thursday marked what may be Colombia's best chance to avert a hellish future. At the southern town of San Vicente del Caguan, inside the jungle realm of the biggest and fiercest Marxist guerrilla group--the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC)--the rebels and the government of President Andres Pastrana Arango began the country's third attempt at peace in 17 years. But the fiesta of tropical bands, stuffed pig and beer, attended by luminaries like Colombia's Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, couldn't rise above the jolting absence of the FARC's mysterious 68-year-old chief...
...counselor wired for replays. For all their stupefying banality, the tapes Tripp made over a three-month period of her conversations with Monica Lewinsky are self-incriminating, an eloquent and chilling record of ongoing personal treachery. What is surprising is how many contemporary Americans find Tripp's conduct as hellish as Dante would have. We live at a far remove from the medieval poet's moral cosmology. Where he prescribed eternal damnation and torture, we are inclined to recommend therapy, to empathize, to view the malefactor as a victim...
