...with the spending bills heading for Clinton's desk, the quiet is ending. After months of searching for issues that will cut their way, battered Democrats have awakened to the political advantage of forming a Praetorian Guard around Mother Earth. Though Clinton has been accused of being just pale green, especially after he retreated in 1993 from imposing new grazing fees on federal lands, the White House has got the message. Al Gore, a best-selling conservationist, two weeks ago denounced Republicans on the Hill for a "jihad against the environment'' that had allowed lobbyists from "the biggest polluters...
...film version of Persuasion, directed by Roger Michell, seizes on this desperation, making it the film's emotional keynote. When Anne (Amanda Root) first appears, she seems almost panicked, with her pale face, thin-lipped grimace and wide, staring eyes.

The besieged residents of Sarajevo, who have long felt abandoned by the West, shouted with joy from their balconies as they listened to the bombs fall near by. The only NATO casualty: a French Mirage, shot down by Serb gunners; the fate of the two airmen, who were seen ejecting...
...friend Vahida Fazlagic, 64, interrupted him bitterly. She was driven from her home in Grbavica, a Serb-controlled suburb of Sarajevo, by Bosnian Serb forces. "NATO has been bombing the Serb positions. So what? That doesn't hurt them, they are sitting in their bunkers. NATO should bomb Pale [the Bosnian Serb stronghold near Sarajevo] to show them what it is like to have a massacre like we had on Monday...
