...talking up peace prospects in Northern Ireland. Bruton called for an IRA cease-fire and urged the organization to take advantage of Labour's control of parliament to jump-start talks. "Here, the basic feeling is that there is a new sort of urgency and enthusiasm for trying to restart the peace process," reports TIME's London bureau chief Barry Hillenbrand. "After being elected last week, Blair seems willing to try new initiatives and arrangements which may bridge the impasse and get the parties talking. The huge majority Labour has will also help him because he does not have...
...employee-concerns program, created a dedicated "recovery team" for each plant and asked the demoralized and skeptical Millstone rank and file to help him weed out problem managers. (Both an NRC Special Project Office and an "independent corrective-action-verification team" of industry consultants will oversee the work; plant restart will require a commission vote.)

The Brown family was in worse straits, as they lost a bid to stay the decision...

Because Assad understands well that his forces are inferior to Israel's, no one thinks he would provoke a full-scale war. But that might still be the result, were Israel to respond to a limited land grab, as it has threatened, with a disproportionately severe counterattack...
