...unpack her carpetbag and get busy on her bid for New York?s Senate seat. But residents of the tranquil New York City suburb needn?t fear being turned into an extension of Pennsylvania Avenue. "As long as Bill Clinton is in the White House, this house will remain strictly an occasional weekend getaway," says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan. "And once he?s out of office, Clinton has made clear that he plans to spend a lot of time in Arkansas building his presidential library. And if the First Lady does get elected to the Senate, of course...
...extent of the damage rapidly overwhelmed the Turkish government's capacity to respond. Search teams came pouring in from abroad, hundreds of specialists from the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, even traditional enemy Greece. Yet hope dwindled for the estimated 35,000 people who may remain locked in the wreckage of Turkey's punishing earthquake. After the first three days, successful rescues grew more and more sporadic. Without water, in the cruel heat, few of the trapped can survive more than 72 hrs., no matter how strong the will to live. There might still be a miracle...

Typically, they are deeply rooted into the fertile conspiracy-theory ground of the Internet, and to them the mainstream press is about as trustworthy as Tokyo Rose. When it comes to the jack-booted FBI thugs and their...
Oddly, that may be what Yeltsin wants. Wars in the North Caucasus remain in some eyes a credible excuse for imposing a state of emergency on Russia. Leaders of the Federation Council (the upper house of the Russian Parliament) indicated last week that they would be receptive to emergency measures--a plan that would allow Yeltsin to postpone elections and engineer a less than democratic transition. Hints of that fear were on display last week, as police tightened security around government buildings, airports and railway stations. Patrols clad in bulletproof vests showed up in the Moscow subway, and armor rolled...
