...Marines began rehearsing an emergency evacuation of all American citizens from Haiti, but in Washington the invasion scenarios faded -- for now. Sam Nunn, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, cautioned against military action, saying Haiti, though clearly important, was not a "vital" American interest. Meanwhile, 104 human-rights monitors were expelled by Haiti's military regime for allegedly disrupting security on the island, and U.S. embassy officials investigating reports of a massacre found the remains of 12 men in shallow graves just outside Port-au-Prince...
...battle, if not the war. Zilly's decision was the seventh lower-court ruling against the old military rules on homosexuality; and, like several of the other decisions, it has implications for the new regulations negotiated by Bill Clinton and Senator Sam Nunn last summer.

Sam Nunn got tangled up in sailing analogies -- Kelso's opponents were putting him in a rowboat and tying an anchor to his leg and saying he "should have been down on the bottom of the ship" -- and concluded that the Senate should not take two stars away from Kelso because...
...supporting the force levels Clinton has called for through 1999. Indeed, Clinton's budget slashes $1.4 billion in defense procurement programs, almost half the overall $3.25 billion in cuts the President is recommending. But the proposals will encounter strenuous opposition from congressional Republicans and such leading Democrats as Sam Nunn of Georgia, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee...
