...Protestant Ulster Unionist Party agreed to drop their demand that the Irish Republican Army (IRA) begin disarming before they formed a government that includes Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing. The IRA has appointed a representative to meet with a disarmament commission...
...running neck-and-neck in the Arizona polls, it was left to the other four candidates to divide the also-ran spoils - Steve Forbes, Gary Bauer and Alan Keyes by trumpeting their conservative credentials, and Orrin Hatch by emphasizing his experience. Clearly, though, some pollster has told all the Republican hopefuls that congeniality is the flavor of the month, and their affability was at times almost comical - Forbes told Bush to call him "Steve," McCain told the Texas governor to call him "John," then later complained of not knowing whether to call Bush "George" or "W."

"The McCain campaign is a revolt," says Richard Quinn, McCain...
...roots and tactics back to the Molly Maguires, the fierce coal miners who waged violent battles against mineowners in the 1870s, has become increasingly erratic and violent over the past few years. Teamster officials say Morris' men have told them the weapons were being readied to disrupt the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia next July. It is not as farfetched as it sounds: five of Morris' men were charged this year with savagely beating anti-Clinton demonstrators during a presidential visit to Philadelphia in October...
