Hoar, commander of the U.S. Central Command in Somalia, was proposing a March 31 deadline. White House officials admit that the date is arbitrary, but they think it provides -- maybe -- sufficient time to contain (though perhaps not capture) Aidid and negotiate a political settlement among clan elders and militia leaders without committing the U.S. to a dragged-out effort.

Wednesday, 3--In perhaps the greatest prank of all time, students put chisels to the John Harvard Statue, scratching the "o" from "founder", changing "1638" to "1636", and adding after "John Harvard" the inscription "--as modeled by Sherman Hoar, student...
