...ONLY COULD COLIN POWELL BE America's first black President, he could be the country's first independent President. George Washington, the first President of our country, did not seek the office. He was persuaded to preside over the Constitutional Convention because he realized he held the key to creating a new nation. Powell, not unlike Washington, holds the key to changing, for the better, the country he has fought for. He could overcome many problems that are a result of our two-party system. Powell says he wants America to live as a family. He should run for President...
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin today said Israel would seek the extradition of Mousa Abu Marzuk, a Palestinian businessman detained in New York Thursday. U.S. officials claim he is a senior leader of the militant group Hamas. Hamas, which has claimed responsibility for several bombings in Israel, quickly warned the U.S. against turning him over. A Hamas leaflet issued in the Gaza Strip today demanded the immediate release of Abu Marzuk, saying his detention would "add to the Arab and Muslim anger that is raging against the U.S. hostile policies."

Senate Democrats, in a growing challenge to President Clinton and European allies, lined up behind Republican leader Bob Dole as the Senate voted 69-29 to end the U.S. arms embargo on Bosnia.

And the small-government, tax-cutting Republican neophytes would betray their supporters if they did any favors for the "welfare bureaucracy" so often excoriated in their campaign ads. Yet when conservatives seek to undercut the very means of political competition itself--to systematically cut off their ideological opponents from access to advocacy--there is good reason for alarm. Bewildered by attacks on all sides, American liberals need to apprehend the broader import of Republican efforts to entrench themselves in power...
...elderly refugees from that city. But Ministry of Defense sources in Belgrade told TIME that the Bosnian army special units have become the major stumbling block to the Serb capture of Zepa, an isolated mountain town whose fall would force its 10,000 to 16,000 residents to seek shelter in other government-held towns. Reports Barnes: "Muslim army units -- about 3,000 men -- have escaped from Srebrenica and are trying to make their way inside Zepa. They've hit the Serb right flank badly. About 1,100 are already inside bolstering the defenses, and another 1,900 are making...
