...virtue of partition is that it is the only real chance for peace. The nine-year-old girls on sleds now being murdered by half-witted gunmen will not be saved by relief convoys that bring them food so they can later be shot. They will not be saved by dreams of rolling Serbia out of Bosnia. They will only be saved by peace. And if we've learned anything from Cyprus and India and Palestine, it is that the best way to bring peace is to separate the combatants and let them live apart...
...hostile and angry at first; later he began to flourish under the supervision of caring adults. "Anthony thought it was heaven," says superintendent Jounice Morris. "It was his first glimpse of stability." Morris, who gave him the nickname "Peanut," recalls that Knighton had the reading ability of a nine-year-old. She says his sister visited him only once during the months he spent at the halfway house; no other relative appeared.

"Our children couldn't go to buy a loaf of bread without having their coins stolen," said Maria Jose Fuentes, who was marching with her nine-year-old son. "Old ladies were ! attacked. Prostitutes were everywhere, and addicts walked around with needles in their arms." Last September, in what Malvarrosans call the mothers' revolution, the neighborhood rose up. Every night since...
...fringe candidates led by conservative columnist Pat Buchanan, the President had managed to win only 53% of the vote. The confusion about what to do next was obvious. Bush began by implying that he would not stoop to personal attacks on Buchanan, then immediately dredged up a nine-year-old article in which Buchanan called for making Social Security "voluntary." A day later, Bush changed tactics again. Campaign officials explained that Bush would not squander one of his bigger campaign assets -- the dignity of his office -- by getting down and dirty with a man who once crafted verbal spitballs...
