...restore the legitimate Haitian President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, to power and in so doing halt the flood of boat people. With 20,000 U.S. troops and a little help from Jimmy Carter, Clinton did it. Objective No. 2 was achieved last week when Rene Preval took the presidential oath and Haiti experienced its first-ever peaceful transfer of power from one popularly elected leader to another. At month's end Clinton can chalk up the final--and maybe most important--mission accomplished: to leave. The U.S. troops will return home, having suffered the loss of only one soldier...
Wigand's allegations, while not totally surprising, have a shattering specificity. For example, he recalls many instances in which former B&W chief Thomas Sandefur acknowledged nicotine's addictive power. Federal prosecutors are weighing possible perjury charges against a number of executives, including Sandefur, who declared under oath during 1994 congressional hearings that nicotine is not addictive. They would be interested in exchanges such as this one from Wigand's Mississippi deposition: "Q: Did Mr. Sandefur have a position that if science affected sales, the science would take the back door?"

Korshak was never indicted, but "a message from him," a prominent mobster once testified under oath, "is a message from...
...exonerate her, to say that he never pressured David Hale into giving her that $300,000 loan. But what they want to avoid at all costs is to have Clinton take the stand and be cross-examined by Kenneth Starr. If that would happen, Starr could ask him under oath anything related to the investigation. The wording of the order from U.S. District Judge George Howard, Jr. gives the President an opening to avoid live testimony. In any case, it's highly unlikely that you'd see the President flying down to Little Rock to testify in person." Having pursued...
