...least Cohen's having more luck than his boss. President Clinton worked the telephones over the weekend in a bid to drum up some much-needed international support for a possible strike.

Last week Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien chose for his guests a brown elk leather, $400 Roots flight jacket, each personalized with the summiteer's name, title and apec logo, and cut to size (Clinton's: XXXL, tall). Such outfits--a Philippine barong tagalog in 1996 and an Indonesian batik shirt in 1994--are now high on the agenda.
