...Hillary Clinton's responses to the inevitable flak have been painful to witness. She dishonors her whole sex when she apologizes, runs back to the image molders or threatens to "soften" herself to the consistency of a milk-dipped chocolate-chip cookie. Personally, and speaking from the shelter of relative anonymity, I would be honored to have Newt Gingrich, even by proxy, call me a bitch...
With Russian bombs pummeling his secession-bound republic, Chechnya's leader told the Kremlin today that he's ready to talk peace. President Dzhokhar Dudayev sent a telegram to Russian President Boris Yeltsin from a bomb shelter underneath the presidential palace in Grozny, stating he wants to start negotiations. But there was no indication from Russian or Chechen officials that the Chechen demand that all Russian troops leave before talks open would be embraced.

...matter of days, sources tell Zarakhovich. Today also brought news of a near-tragedy of ghastly proportions as an orphanage in Grozny was destroyed by an air raid -- even though yesterday Yeltsin pledged to limit civilian casualties.

The problem has always been tough to quantify and high estimates (by advocates) pegged the number of homeless people at 3 million, although the Columbia study doesn't offer a total homeless population...
...fiery-red morning sun was melting the light frost on fertile fields and groves lining the highway to Grozny 18 miles away. But Russian soldiers in a column of 50 light tanks, armored personnel carriers and trucks could not enjoy the idyllic scene; they had to stop and take shelter behind their vehicles from unseen Chechen snipers. In a lovely grove left of the highway, a Grad missile launcher fired its projectiles toward the Chechen village of Achkoi-Martan four miles ahead; heavy artillery boomed and fires blazed atop hills. Journalists could not follow the battle any further because...
