When I came to Harvard a month ago, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Not because of the blueberry squares in Annenberg or the monstrous size of my Hollis room, but because of the Institute of Politics, and most immediately, H.Y.P.E. '96. I have been interested in politics for as long as I can remember, "voting" with my parents for Carter, Mondale, Dukakis and finally, successfully, for Clinton. Two weeks ago, I volunteered at H.Y.P.E. for almost six hours, listening to speeches by Robert Reich, George Stephanopoulos, Teresa Heinz and Barney Frank '56 and attending a spirited...
...Williamson were contemporaries. "The problem is that a lot of what De Kock says is third-person hearsay," says TIME Southern Africa bureau chief Peter Hawthorne. "De Kock is trying to ease his sentence by providing information, and so people are skeptical about his testimony. De Kock is a monstrous, truly evil man who is trying to make as many waves as he can as he faces life imprisonment."

The CIA is also looking at intelligence on a meeting of terrorist leaders in Iran the month before the crash to see if any green light was given for the attack. "There...
...general public wanted to know whether one of America's commercial airliners had been blown out of the sky by terrorists. These questions, during a grueling and sometimes chaotic week, seemed at times incompatible--urgencies with different priorities. Investigators looked for bodies and for signs of a monstrous crime. They found fewer of both than many had hoped, but perhaps more than could reasonably be expected, given the formidable obstacles to discoveries of any sort...
...supporting characters are less fully developed but no less perversely compelling. Ronet as the monstrous Philipe is the model of the Ugly American, throwing around money, speaking loudly, insulting everyone around him. His knife-in-the-back treatment of Tom-- he sets Tom adrift on a dinghy, embarrasses him by making him seem ill-bred, makes him steer the boat while he has sex with Marg-- makes him hard to like by any standards. The hapless Marg is wholly pitiable, toting around a guitar to which she croons mercilessly, plotting out her book on Fra Angelica, becoming a pawn...
