...into crisis. The discovery of at least six outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in English pigs prompted the government to ban exports of all livestock, milk and meat products until March 1. The outbreak could cost the industry as much as $75 million. Though the disease is not lethal to humans, it is devastating to animals and highly contagious. Citizens were urged to forgo potentially risky activities such as visiting farms, fox hunting and even taking walks in the countryside...
...meditating on the death penalty. He may be eligible for it under a post-Ames law, for abetting the death of agents working for the U.S.--two of those three Russians he fingered in 1985 and possibly two others Moscow television says he brought down. The FBI hopes the lethal prospect moves Hanssen to detail exactly what he gave away. If he "sold the farm," as former FBI assistant director Bryant believes, U.S. intelligence will have to rebuild its entire Russian program from the ground up. And every operative in the U.S. spy apparatus, from satellite controllers to eavesdroppers...
Even though the U.S. is "nowhere near as focused on Russia as we were on the Soviet Union," according to Woolsey, potential dangers still loom large.

...become a continent-wide crisis, one that is creating millions of addicts and threatening to cripple societies barely on the mend from an economic cataclysm and still wrestling with huge numbers of addicts hooked on more traditional drugs like heroin. The numbers reveal a region with an increasingly lethal need for speed: in Japan, between 1995 and 1999, the amount of methamphetamine seized, a pretty good indicator of usage patterns, increased from 85 kg to nearly 2,000 kg?about 65 million hits. The story is the same in South Korea, where there are now more than 7,000 meth...
...meteorologist might call Clinton's first month out of office a perfect storm: a freak convergence of fast-moving, late-season weather patterns, a lethal collision of the profound and the trivial. The thunderhead of accusations confirms every fair and unfair thing his enemies have ever said about him--and puts him once again in the sights of a federal prosecutor, this time U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White of New York. Not only are there calls to haul him before Congress, but also they are coming from fellow Democrats who defended him through every past scandal. This time...
