...solid second place behind Bush and could eventually be amenable to the second spot on the ticket. Both Bush and Dole are moderates, though. "If it begins to look as if establishment candidates have a solid lock on the party," says Carney,"the social conservatives could start to rebel" They might choose to unite around one of the several conservatives now running -- perhaps Pat Buchanan or Gary Bauer -- and create the kind of intra-party breach that gave the first George Bush such a headache when he ran for the Oval Office...
During his time in jail, prosecutors say, King was making plans to form a Jasper chapter of the Confederate Knights of America, to be called the Texas Rebel Soldiers. Brewer was King's first recruit, the government says, and Berry was the second. William Matthew Hoover, a fellow inmate of King's and an Aryan Brotherhood member, testified that King may have been planning an initiation ritual for his new gang that included kidnapping a black man, driving him to the woods and killing him.

King dragged his victim's severed torso through a black part of town and dumped it near a black church and cemetery...
Surroi is a realist about the deal and the prospect for pinning down rebel support. But he thinks he has a pitch that can work. "This is not an agreement to form an independent state of Kosovo," he says. "[But] it is a historic opportunity for Albanians. It will be the most dramatic change Kosovo has ever seen...
