...Times report last November. (Gore's spokesman refuses to comment.) Now that confidence may be repaid. Chernomyrdin, in the role of Kosovo envoy for Russian President Boris Yeltsin, is a key player in the search for a diplomatic end to the war. During Chernomyrdin's visit to Washington this month, most of the talking took place around Gore's dining-room table...
Dole's zinger on guns--and the Bush operation's rapid response--were just a preview to the political cut and thrust that will begin next month, when the Governor is scheduled to wrap up the legislative session in Austin and make his first campaign trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Frustrated by Bush's dominance of the race, some rival campaigns have dispatched operatives to Texas to scour newspaper clippings and state budget reports, pick over old speeches and offhand remarks, quiz Bush enemies and even some old friends, all in search of information they can use to diminish...

In Graz, Austria, this month, Mercedes and Chrysler vehicles began rolling off the same assembly line--in auto manufacturing, this is akin to walking on water. The Graz plant originally made the Jeep Grand Cherokee. But when the merger talks began last year, Mercedes car chief Jurgen Hubbert spotted a golden opportunity to expand production of the new M-class suv without paying the exorbitant costs of a new factory. In an odd twist, Mercedes saves more than $70 million by shipping components from its plant in Tuscaloosa, Ala., back to Europe...
