...turned into a nasty lawsuit pitting one sister against the other. The rift began in 1997 as Tricia and Julie argued over how the Richard Nixon presidential library should be run. Tricia's side wants a small board dominated by the sisters, funding for pro-Nixon scholars and the ouster of John Taylor, the library's longtime director, who was selected by Nixon himself. At one point in the mid-1990s, Julie agreed with Tricia that Taylor wasn't responsive enough to the family, but quickly changed her mind. Julie, 53, wants to keep Taylor and the existing large, independent...

Moreover, the Bush administration is keenly aware that the political-military crisis that drew the U.S. reluctantly back into Mideast mediation is in no sense reducible to one man, and Washington remains convinced, for now, that Arafat...
...anxious Arab allies that the U.S. wouldn't leave a mess for someone else to clean up - which some feel is happening in Afghanistan as the Pentagon refuses to allow international peacekeepers past Kabul city limits. Since the Administration has made it clear that the objective is Saddam's ouster, he has no reason to behave: on his last legs, the Iraqi ruler would seemingly have no reason not to launch missiles laden with chemical or biological weapons against U.S. troops or Israeli cities...
