Feinstein was prescient enough to make illegal immigration a pet issue, which gives her some political cover in her unexpectedly tight race against conservative Santa Barbara Congressman Michael Huffington. But the same cannot be said of Democrat Kathleen Brown, who in a struggle to unseat Governor Pete Wilson finds herself slipping over what has become the most hazardous issue of the 1994 elections. If California runs true to form, leading America's social revolutions through the ballot box, it will pass Proposition 187, an implacable, baldly unconstitutional plan to cut off services to illegal immigrants, from schools to health care...
...Pete Sampras may just be the best role model for young athletes in any sport. His gutsy performance in the recent Davis Cup tie against Sweden, offering himself up to his country and a fallen friend (Vitas Geralitus), shows us that athletes can still believe in icons other than money, even when his body and mind might disagree with his heart...

Though he still says he isn't interested in the job, nobody is counting out Pete Wilson, a political corpse just two years ago who is a likely winner for re-election. % And everybody's favorite wild card is Colin Powell, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But the man who is now one of Clinton's designated interlocutors in Haiti still hasn't signaled whether he's a Republican, much less a presidential hopeful.
