...something is out of kilter when two married executives at ABC have an affair and one gets promoted to president of ABC News, while Lieut. Flinn, who had an affair with a civilian she initially didn't know was married, faced dishonorable discharge and 9 1/2 years in prison. Does it make sense to throw 65,000 young women together with several hundred thousand males, under immense stress, boredom and loneliness--then also raise the bar on sexual misconduct far above where it is in society in general...

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Human rights activist Harry Wu, who spent 19 years imprisoned in China and is now a U.S. citizen, told a Senate committee that he can prove that U.S. companies are illegally selling goods produced by Chinese prisoners, and accused the Clinton Administration of ignoring the practice. Wu, who heads a group dedicated to exposing forced-labor in China's prisons, said the products made involuntarily by prisoners included office supplies, sport shirts with Playboy, Esprit and Arnold Palmer labels, auto parts for American cars, and even Christmas tree lights. President Clinton plans to renew China's most-favored...
