...midweek Jewell, 33, was in a different media glare as the man whom FBI officials had identified as a suspect in the bombing. He sat on the steps outside the modest Atlanta apartment he shares with his mother and his dog while FBI agents searched the premises for evidence. Nearby, the guardians of the press kept vigil on the Rush Limbaugh weigh-alike with the forlorn white mustache. Technically Jewell has not been charged and is only a suspect. But tabloid journalism's hope for heroes had given way to its need for villains. SAINT OR SAVAGE?, the New York...
...midweek, Dole recruited a small army of surrogates to take up cudgels against Forbes and became smoother on the trail. His ads got tougher, his speeches softer. A new Dole ad in New Hampshire features the state's popular, youthful Governor Steve Merrill, clad in green parka and walking across a snow-covered suburban yard, accusing Forbes of proposing a plan that would rob citizens of their cherished property-tax deduction. Meanwhile, Dole himself reserved his swipes for Bill Clinton and "the elites in charge" but ignored Steve Forbes. The furthest Dole would go was in Nashua, New Hampshire, where...
...only by the whimper of untended animals and the clatter of looters. Along the roadsides, hundreds of bicycles lay twisted by treads of Croatian armor. There were also bodies. The corpses of two Serbs who had been fleeing on a tractor lay next to a recently harvested field. By midweek nearly every house had had its front door kicked in.

Near the town of Slunj, Milka Jurcic, a 73-year-old woman wearing an apron that still displayed...

By obtaining a letter of credit (essentially, insurance against default) from a group of Swiss, German and U.S. banks, the county soothed enough investors to sell $1.3 billion in short-term bonds at a favorable rate. The Board of Supervisors agreed on $267 million in cuts, but put off a decision on County-USC until next month. Meanwhile, the Board of Supervisors will ask Governor Pete Wilson for relief from some costly unfunded mandates, as well as asking the state legislature for permission to levy...
Late last week, Gingrich postponed the term-limit votes until midweek, in part to give backers time to gather votes. But his biggest test will come in early April, when his overall package of spending and tax cuts is on the table. Already, a small group of moderate Republicans has met several times with conservative Democrats to discuss how to link any future tax cuts to deficit reduction. Even if G.O.P. moderates succeed in reducing the scope of the $500-per-child tax credit, an enormous tax break for the wealthy would still loom. Democrats charge that more than...
