...BUSH ADMINISTRATION MET ONE LAST DEADline -- kind of, barely. Officials had said they hoped to at least begin a pullout from Somalia before Bill Clinton's Inauguration. Lo and behold, in the final hours of the Bush presidency about 1,100 Marines were beginning to come home. Besides redeeming Bush's pledge, the move was clearly intended to prod the United Nations to hurry up in creating a regular peacekeeping force to take over from the U.S.-led ad hoc troops. American Marine Colonel Fred Peck, a military spokesman in Mogadishu, hopefully suggested that U.S. troops could begin to pass...
This will make things very difficult for Clinton. No follow-on U.N. peacekeeping force can be put into Somalia without Boutros-Ghali's cooperation, and an American pullout without such a U.N. presence would be a disaster. "We may be looking at a very long commitment, measured in years, not months," says a Clinton aide...

When Perot withdrew from the race on July 16, he cited the risk that his candidacy might lead to a constitutional crisis by causing an electoral-vote deadlock and throwing the election into the House of Representatives. Since that scenario had been widely discussed for months, Perot's tardy reaction to it suggested two other reasons for his pullout: 1) the realization that he could not win, and 2) his unwillingness to bankroll a full-fledged campaign...
...cardinal virtue. A disillusioned Perot worker in San Francisco, Ivan Sharpe, said, "He probably doesn't deserve the presidency. Every presidential candidate has to run the press gauntlet. It's a way of testing them." Sharpe's bitterness was widely shared. In a TIME/CNN poll taken after Perot's pullout, 62% of his supporters felt he had let them down, and only 17% believed he had told the real reasons for quitting. But those familiar with the Perot biography should not have been totally surprised. Perot has a history of cutting his losses when a situation no longer pleases...
...pullout may hasten a trend in which dozens of insurers have left New Jersey, Massachusetts, California and other states in disputes over rates. Most notably, Allstate's move could set the stage for a major showdown in California, where regulators plan to implement Proposition 103. That measure, which mandates a 20% rollback of auto and other insurance premiums, has been bottled up by legal challenges since voters approved...
