Washington did not do badly. It is off the hook, at least for now, on its threat to bomb Iraq, a move that promised less than satisfying results and that was gathering opposition at home and abroad by the day. Clinton's bottom-line demands were preserved, as Saddam again accepted U.N. resolutions that mandate "unconditional and unrestricted" inspections and destruction of his bioweapons, nerve agents and missiles. This deal could fall apart--and many experienced experts assume it will--but matters had worked out better than the Clintonites had expected...
...person can run. Fortunately, most debris flows funnel through fairly narrow channels, and so the damage they inflict is limited. But Californians are at risk for a second type of slide, which the U.S. Geological Survey's David Howell refers to as a "bedrock landslide." Such deep-seated slides move slowly and pose little hazard to life (unless, as happened in Rio Nido, they also trigger debris flows). In their own way, however, bedrock slides are equally pernicious...

Indeed, one wonders at the effort to cover up the President's allergy." --June...
...much the lack of an agenda; it's the shortfall of charismatic leaders. Last week, just as NEWT GINGRICH was signaling that he'll step down in mid-1999 to run for President, the party's rising star, BILL PAXON, announced that he was quitting electoral politics entirely. The move came as a shock both to his admirers and detractors, of which there were many, because of his efforts to overthrow Gingrich last year...
