...speculation that Saddam Hussein was preparing to reinvade Kuwait. The U.S. responded swiftly, ordering 4,000 Army troops from Georgia to Kuwait and dispatching the aircraft carrier George Washington to the Persian Gulf region. In London the British Defense Ministry announced that it was sending an extra frigate to patrol the waters off Kuwait. But the Baghdad government defended Iraq's right to move troops within its own borders, and there were no signs of panic in Kuwait...
...ensuring the Iraqis don't return, Ambassador to the United Nations Madeleine Albright tossed out the idea of a "no-drive" zone in southeastern Iraq. Planes would patrol the region and discourage any traffic in a strip close-in to Kuwait. The notion got a cool response from France and Britain, who had supported a crucial "no-fly zone" after the Gulf War two years ago. Air Force Maj. Gen.

American troops now control the peace in Haiti, after taking over key police precincts yesterday and the Parliament and City Hall in Port-au-Prince today in anticipation of pro-Aristide Haitian legislators' return.

...working on the dawn patrol had paid off for one of the Bang-Bang Club. Marinovich won a Pulitzer for his September 1990 photographs of a Zulu being stabbed to death by A.N.C. supporters. That prize raised the stakes for the rest of the club -- especially Carter. And for Carter other comparisons cropped up. Though Oosterbroek was his best friend, they were, according to Nachtwey, "like the polarities of personality types. Ken was the successful photographer with the loving wife. His life was in order." Carter had bounced from romance to romance, fathering a daughter out of wedlock...
...tube to fish, both at night and by day. The men did not give their names. One says he is sure they will make it to Florida. A few years ago, they would have spent a year in jail for "illegal departure" if they were picked up by Cuban patrol boats. This time they knew it would be smooth sailing as the tide pulled them out beyond the 12-mile limit into the Straits of Florida. That is, smooth sailing against Castro. They had yet to survive the sharks and storms...
