...Mann, 39, has remained a cult-size pleasure. Timing has been her enemy. Whatever, her fine 1993 solo debut, came out just as her label, Imago Records, hit the financial skids. Her next album, I'm with Stupid, languished in legal limbo until Geffen Records released it--two years late. And early this year it looked as if the curse might strike again: as Mann neared completion of a new work, Bachelor No. 2, Geffen merged with Interscope Records, whose executives ordered her back into the studio to come up with a hit single...
...Russians have been "brazen and blatant," but "we've thwarted" them. The tension broke last week in Moscow with the arrest of CHERI LEBERKNIGHT, 33, ostensibly a U.S. embassy official but actually a CIA spy, according to the Russians. More schoolmarm than Mata Hari in looks, she was snatched late Monday with "ink tablets for secret correspondence" and equipment for detecting surveillance, says Moscow. Administration and intelligence officials tell time they believe she was taken in retaliation for the U.S. visa clampdown. Other spy watchers point to the expulsion midyear of two Russian spies from the U.S. and Russian posturing...

...from Lebanon. He was a staunch supporter of the Gulf War and the initial humanitarian mission in Somalia but demanded U.S. troops be withdrawn after the combat deaths of 18 Americans there. McCain vacillated over the Balkans: in 1993 he opposed air strikes against the Bosnian Serbs, but in late 1995 he lobbied hard to secure Senate support for Clinton's deployment of troops to enforce the Dayton peace agreement. McCain quickly soured on the mission but twice blocked G.O.P. efforts to withdraw funds for it. Though he was mercilessly critical of Clinton's halfhearted prosecution...
...driving this New Year's Eve than they do about Y2K," says TIME techonolgy writer Joshua Quittner. And that's exactly the kind of attitude the White House wants us to keep in mind as we inch toward the big moment: Computers crash, bags are lost and airplanes are late every day of the year. And there's no reason to think that New Year's Eve will be any different. Unless, of course, the rigorous preparations of the last year have smoothed our operating systems to the point that this winter, no home will go without heat, light...
