...Kosovo air campaign, and the end to the conflict seems now to depend mostly on the domestic political concerns of the key players. "Both sides are really eager to stop this now, which gives peace talks their momentum," says TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson. "Now it's a question of what both sides think they can get away with domestically -- of how much President Clinton will be able to compromise while still making the result appear to be a victory." The three key players in the diplomatic endgame -- Russian envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin, U.S. deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott...
...Good question, Kenny. I belonged to a group of 1,050 New Yorkers who participated in the annual Principal for a Day program run jointly by the Board of Education and a nonprofit group called PENCIL (Public Education Needs Civic Involvement in Learning). The idea is simple: get corporate and civic leaders involved with the city's public schools. This year's participants ranged from First Principal Hillary Clinton to actor Billy Baldwin.

But here, at last, is Notting Hill, and it makes something utterly charming--and very smart--out of the efforts of the world's most famous and desirable movie star, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), the world's most anonymous bookseller, to get together...
...schoolyards everywhere have turned into bustling prescription-drug bazaars. But Morris, who headed a schoolwide committee called Addressing Behaviors of Concern, recalls that "the problems we focused on were not dramatically different from my own youthful experiences." At least three-quarters of the time, says Morris, the kids in question were placed on medication in what he saw as the beginning of a vicious cycle that frequently worsened the original problem. "Challenges that teachers used to handle are being handed over to psychiatrists. Instead of dealing with kids inside the classroom, they yank them out, put them on drugs...
