...name problem for married women is a clumsy mess. Married women have four or more choices. 1) Keep the last name they were given at birth. 2) Take the husband's last name. 3) Use three names, as in Hillary Rodham Clinton; or, as women did in the '70s, join the wife's birth name and the husband's birth name with a hyphen -- a practice that in the third generation down the road would produce geometrically expanded multiple-hyphenated nightmares. 4) Use the unmarried name in most matters professional, and use the husband's name in at least some...
ANYTIME IT SEEMS THAT THE MESS IN BOSNIA CANnot get any more complex, or deadly, it promptly does. Now food is being used as a weapon -- by Serbs and Croatians against Muslims, and by Muslims against themselves. And its use has started an internal feud among U.N. officials.

...real killer was Clark's shortie--a harmless Dartmouth clearing attempt ricocheted off of the backboards to the crease, where Israel and defenseman Derek Maguire made enough of a mess of it to allow Clark to walk in and five-hole the gift...
...staff, Mack McLarty, will be making his own way to the office. Of the 45 cars at hand for portal-to-portal service in the Bush Administration, only 16 will remain. That stack of six pristine daily newspapers on every desk in the West Wing: gone. White House mess privileges, which were what separated the merely important from the princes who whisper in the President's ear, will be extended to the clerks who sort the mail, if they can stand the food there. The White House staff will be 25% leaner starting the next fiscal year. Use of government...
