...near rival Taiwan, the Pentagon's second remark in 24 hours on a situation that Washington hopes will cool before it gets truly hot. "It is in the interests both of the Chinese and Taiwanese to resolve their differences peacefully," Perry told a group of students. Tuesday, a Pentagon spokesman said that Beijing, which already has conducted a missile test near Taiwan last fall, had sent an unspecified number of Chinese troops and military equipment toward the Chinese coast opposite the island. Even so, China's relatively meager forces are unlikely to make the crossing. "Logic works against an invasion...

Mounting suspicions on all sides have translated into more restrictions and controls for people crossing supposedly open borders, says U.N. aid agency spokesman Kris Janowski.

Says John Freehery, a spokesman for DeLay: "Speaker Newt Gingrich is not going to go down, and we're not gearing up for anything." Congressional insiders, however, see House majority leader Dick Armey, also of Texas, as the more likely replacement for Gingrich as Speaker, should he fall.
