...headaches last week, because the most credible of them took place before he began to run for President, a period during which he had already admitted that he had caused ''pain in my marriage.'' Far more swampy were new suspicions that the Clintons, as First Couple of Arkansas, had somehow acted improperly while a real estate partner ruined a savings and loan institution that eventually cost taxpayers $47 million to bail out. The Justice Department is investigating the now defunct S&L and the Clinton partnership to see whether money from the thrift was diverted to support faltering real estate...
...days before receiving his Nobel Peace Prize, African National Congress (A.N.C.) President Nelson Mandela entertains visitors and well-wishers at the Grand Hotel in Oslo, Norway. Tall, exquisitely tailored, he dispenses soft handshakes and his world-famous smile. The 27 years he spent in South African prisons seem somehow to have left him younger than his 75 years; he looks well + rested and benign. The mention of a newborn baby boy makes him beam. Because of his confinement, he did not get to see his own two youngest daughters grow up, and since his release he has kindled a love...

...paid four-week vacations, holidays, maternity leave, a 35-hour work week and more. In a turnabout of the exploited and the exploiter, small-business employers feel used, and many dream of the day when they too can be employees. That is no way to get an economy moving. Somehow governments and voters can't make the leap of imagination and realize that less taxation can bring greater benefits to the country?not the American-style tax breaks for the rich, but incentives for independent and struggling entrepreneurs.
