...author was seriously late in delivering his book and anguished about writer's block and his inability to get to the core of Reagan. Perhaps it was the arrogance of the intellectual who cannot make himself believe that a person with an ordinary mind can be a powerful leader. Perhaps it was the need do something different with Reagan's life, to justify the big advance and the long delay in producing the book...
...gotcha" last spring when PRESIDENT CLINTON balked at admitting the nation to the World Trade Organization. Entry to the organization is a huge issue for the Chinese, who hope it would boost their economy and end the fiery annual fight over most-favored-nation status.

"Austrians are not angry, they?re bored," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter...
...Freedom party?s strong showing will press the Social Democrats and the People?s party back into their coalition, despite the vow by People?s party leader Wolfgang Schuessel to go into opposition if he finished third. After all, it was only the failure of his squabbling opponents to reach a coalition deal that allowed another Austrian demagogue to win Germany?s 1933 election. And like Hitler, Haider combines an odd assortment of conservative and left-wing economics with a paranoid fear of foreigners, a put-upon sense that his country has been wronged and an exhortation...
