...higher-ups in University Hall and many undergraduates--some members of the coalition--still seem unsure about exactly what changes are needed and how much is feasible. While most acknowledge that the coalition's demands stem from justifiable concerns, the specifics still need to be resolved...
...early polls that show Gore running behind both George W. Bush and Elizabeth Dole are not as worrisome to Democrats as are two deeper trends. First, the largely untested Texas Governor gets significantly higher leadership marks than Gore. Second, if the election were held today, Bush would not only thump Gore among Republicans and moderates but win about 1 out of 3 Democrats as well. Even Clinton has started sharing his misgivings about Gore's performance with political associates...
...only superpower, "ought to be standing up against ethnic cleansing." And again in his formal speech from the Oval Office on Wednesday night, he put the humanitarian issue first.

If we had called Hitler's bluff when he remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, 50 million lives might have been spared. If we had stood up to Milosevic when his forces besieged the Croatian town of Vukovar in the fall of 1991, perhaps a quarter of a million...
