...Saturday, Brown Coach Jean Marie Burr refused to let it happen again...
Minutes earlier, another Democratic Senator had taken the oath, one who came by way of a far more profound tragedy. Three months before, Jean Carnahan was working on a speech in her office at the Missouri Governor's mansion when she looked up to find a state trooper at the door. He dropped on one knee, took her hand and told her that her eldest son Randy and her husband, Governor Mel Carnahan, had just been killed when their small plane crashed. "I knew instantly what he was going to say. My world stopped." A few days later...

The eldest son of the late French President was expected to ring in 2001 from the Paris prison cell he'd occupied since Dec. 21, when he was detained as part of an inquiry into illegal arms sales to Angola. Investigators found evidence that arms dealers paid $1.8 million into Mitterrand's Swiss account between 1993 and 1998. This has left Mitterrand open to charges of complicity in arms trafficking and tax fraud, not to mention influence peddling. From 1986 to 1992, Mitterrand...
