...Mugabe blames much of his country's ills on foreign hostility and interference. Last week his frustration came to the boil. Two journalists-Joseph Winter of the bbc and Mercedes Sayagues, who works for a South African weekly highly critical of the Mugabe regime-were expelled from Harare.

Lieberman (D-Conn.) in the Senate) to grant the refuge "wilderness" status, effectively putting it off limits to drilling. Beyond the provisions affecting the refuge, much of the Republican bill is worth saving and should be incorporated in any bipartisan compromise, especially the tax incentives for consumers...
...CHARGED. JOSEPH MESA JR., 20, freshman at Gallaudet University, a college for the deaf; with two counts of felony murder; in Washington. Mesa, a resident of Guam, dismayed and relieved a terror-stricken campus by admitting that robbery was his motive for killing two freshmen classmates in their dorms, one early this month with the victim's own knife. The other, weak with cerebral palsy, was bludgeoned to death last year. Mesa had no criminal record and had planned to devote his career to the deaf...
