...except for their conversation. After one girl gangster shoots at another but misses, a gentle 10-year-old Kikuyu says, "I think I heard the bullet. It go fooooosh, right past my head." His buddy scoffs, "What, you never seen nobody do no shootin' before? Man, I seen that mess every...
Little Rock -- Jim McDougal is under criminal investigation for his actions as former head of a failed S&L connected to the Whitewater mess. He portrays himself as an innocent victim of thrift regulators, but evidence in an unrelated case in 1988 suggests that he had something on his mind before the regulators arrived.

Serbia had a parliamentary election Dec. 19 in which all the parties supported Serbia's aggression -- although it has left the country a basket case. The Yugoslav mess is one reason some former hawks have become born-again doves. They have lost their interest in promoting democracy. They look at the postcommunist world and see that the most common cause of war is nationalist hatred -- which democracy, far from suppressing, actually gives vent...
