...country: how many family members each leader could take with him, how big a plane he would need, when it would take off and where it would go. If they could not decide by Sunday noon, Carter, Nunn and Powell were to come home and the invasion would proceed -- perhaps as early as the wee hours of Monday morning. But on Saturday, as they anxiously monitored the delegation's progress, some Administration officials acknowledged that Carter had already overstepped his limits by meeting with Emile Jonnaissant, Haiti's illegitimate president, something Clinton did not authorize or agree...
...post-mortems for the recently deceased telecommunications deregulation bill indicate the convergence of the cable and phone industries will proceed, although at a slower pace. The legislation, S. 1822, would have allowed major players in the telecom and cable business to compete in each other's territories, and would have sped up the development of the i-highway.

The story was spot news, but according to editors at Sygma's Paris office, Carter shipped his film too late...
...movement toward peace in Northern Ireland seemed to proceed apace with an historic meeting between Dublin and the Irish Republican Army, but potential troubles from absent players festered elsewhere. In the Irish capital, Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds and Gerry Adams, head of the I.R.A.'s political wing, said they were "totally and absolutely committed to democratic and peaceful methods of resolving our political problems." But they stopped short of agreeing to the permanent I.R.A. cease-fire demanded by British P.M. John Major, who has opposed the all-Irish talks. Worse for him, Major got into a dust-up with...
