RICHARD STENGEL, after working at TIME as a staff writer and associate editor, became an occasional contributor in 1989. It was a happy accommodation that gave us the benefit of his talents while freeing him for larger projects--like the two-year collaboration with Nelson Mandela that produced Mandela's 1994 autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. Now Stengel is back as a senior writer, traveling with the presidential candidates and taking the nation's pulse.

...Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, was on the hustings, attempting to salvage his credibility as a peacemaker. As well he might. After the I.R.A. declared its cease-fire in August 1994, it was Adams who traipsed the world, telling the likes of Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg and Bill Clinton in Washington that violence had been banished from Ulster politics. The cease-fire, he insisted, was "complete." Peace talks could begin without the fear of I.R.A. guns under the table.
