Obama has inherited much of former Democratic leader Tom Daschle's political organization???and with it, Daschle, who is one of Obama's most committed campaigners. In arguing that it is time to turn a new page, Daschle says of the Clintons, "I don't know if it's possible to put all that history behind...
After the militant organization??Hamas won a clear majority in the Palestinian parliament [Feb. 6], its critics denounced the election results. The Israeli Cabinet said it will not negotiate with a Palestinian administration that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel.

...difficult to calculate Moscow's tolerance of reform. Without fundamentally violating Communist orthodoxy, some experts believe, Gierek might be able to promise a degree of worker participation in decision-making on the factory level. Kremlinologist Simes feels that certain concessions could safely be made in the area of labor organization???free trade unions at the shop level, for example, but no factory-or industry-wide unions. No matter the forms, stresses Eastern Europe Scholar Mastny, "Gierek must be able to reassert the political monopoly of the Communist Party...
