...Karen Goetze competed on the women's side of the championships for Harvard. The junior finished in 131st place, crossing the line of the 5,000-meter course at 18:47. Goetze had been battling a virus and almost stopped running at one point because she felt so sick...
...Right now sentiment on Capitol Hill is pretty strong against U.S. troop involvement in the Balkans, and not just among Republicans," says TIME's Congressional correspondent Karen Tumulty. The House has already passed two non-binding resolutions objecting to the President's plan to send 20,000 U.S. soldiers to Bosnia to help enforce the peace. Clinton began his own lobbying effort last week with a long letter to Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

...been missing since Saturday amid a federal investigation for possible campaign finance violations. Wednesday, Enid Waldholtz was under media fire for failing to explain how she came up with $1.8 million in personal cash that many believe was the decisive factor in her 1994 victory over Democrat Karen Shepherd.

The source of this marketing ploy is an innovative free-market effort to compensate for the dicey state of federal arts funding: the Art Matters gift catalog...
...VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THE REmarks of Los Angeles writer and social commentator Karen Grigsby Bates in the TIME forum of opinions on the "trial of the century." She said Fred Goldman, the father of murder victim Ron Goldman, "brought the Holocaust" into the trial. Goldman was reacting with justifiable outrage to Johnnie Cochran's likening Mark Fuhrman to Hitler. Even though Bates said Goldman has the right to be hurt by the loss of his son, she then characterized Goldman as manipulative when he "played the Holocaust card," as if this were all a game with no real issues...
