...problem is that while the scandal may have helped Clinton generate policy ideas, it has drained his ability to get them passed. Former chief of staff Erskine Bowles has privately said that last year the White House was ready to make a swap with Republicans: Clinton would support their plan for vouchers in the D.C. school system if they would go for managed-care reform. But at the last minute he realized he couldn't, because doing so would enrage the Democrats, whose votes he needed for impeachment. And one suspects that Clinton will judge last week's State...
Which is why, says Aguilar, Raul Salinas approached the group's leaders to abduct Ruiz Massieu. Originally the plan was just for a kidnapping, to silence him--and perhaps to punish him for an acrimonious divorce from Salinas' sister. But in the late summer of 1994, Salinas' men changed the plan: "They said [Ruiz Massieu] was too much of a threat to the Salinases, and that we'd have to kill him. I've never been so shook up as when I heard that...
BELGRADE: Madeleine Albright is nothing if not an optimist. The secretary of state's new peace plan for Kosovo "is more of a wish list than a proposal," says TIME reporter Dejan Anastasijevic.

Anna, whose conflicted intelligence exercises itself in passion (when that was the only outlet allowed a middle-class woman), is more than a match for her husband or her lover. Her passion is as potent as Tomas' guilt or Henrik's rage. She can plan an adulterous weekend as if it were a state dinner and tell Henrik that "the thought of your seed in my body was unbearable." She can dish out the awful truth or a blessed lie, and her men don't know the difference. Her only proper adversary is a disapproving...
...familiar tale. The obstruction, he alleged, began when Clinton learned that Lewinsky was to be subpoenaed in the Jones case; he drafted Vernon Jordan to help find her a job and get her back on Clinton's side; once that was under way, he approached Lewinsky with his plan to have her sign a false affidavit in the Jones case. As Hutchinson explained it, Jordan was recruited once more to find her a lawyer, hold her hand, get her out of town. But when it turned out that the Jones lawyers knew far more about Clinton's relationship with Monica...
