...Central America, and a good helping of plain old pork. But add-ons like subsidies for Alaska reindeer farmers, election-monitoring money for elections in East Timor, and an additional $333,000 a year for Tom DeLay's and Dick Gephardt's office expenses weren't enough to scare Clinton...
Alan Greenspan is hard enough to understand after he speaks; no wonder that on a Monday sandwiched between an inflation scare and a Fed meeting, the markets were a little queasy. The Dow began slipping steadily at the opening bell, before coming back to a 60-point loss by the close, a middling sell-off predicated on something like general unease. "It's really just uncertainty," says TIME senior economics correspondent Bernard Baumohl. "People are thinking about inflation again, and bond yields are very high -? which makes them suddenly look like a reasonable alternative to stocks if the Fed does...
...SNORE SCARE As if expectant mothers don't have enough to worry about. Now two studies show a curious link between snoring and high blood pressure. One found that snoring moms-to-be are more than twice as likely to have elevated blood pressure--and three times as likely to give birth to underweight infants.

Israelis have become accustomed, since the Oslo Agreement came unstuck...

It was once a small prairie town of gold rushers and traders, where the biggest scare was getting hit by a prairie dog. Now it's a stretched finger of the big city, with aspiring families who don't lock their doors, enclaves with names like Coventry and Raccoon Creek and Bel Flower, scrubland turned into golf courses, houses than run anywhere from $75,000 to $5 million or so. There's an arch...
