...virtually ceased to function. The Administration wouldn't entertain his reorganization plan for the State Department, so Helms retaliated by refusing for months to confirm 18 ambassadors. Meanwhile, START II, the chemical-weapons convention, nine bilateral investment treaties and other pacts are also languishing. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott says Congress is "flirting with ideas that are isolationist in their potential consequence if not in their actual intent. There's a resurgence of the view that we can now afford to go it alone." This is hardly a platform from which Clinton, flush from his Bosnia success...

Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Secretary of Defense William Perry and General John Shalikashvili, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were also on vacation; Washington was being run by deputies. While the President monitored events from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Talbott convened an 8 a.m. meeting in his office, certain that what he faced was "a test of the London rules," according...
With Moscow reflexively fearful of any scheme it can't dominate -- "They're world champions at improving on nightmares," says Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott -- Washington is walking a tightrope of incoherence. Clinton swore again last week that nato will expand, but slowly, so as to avoid a "differently divided Europe." Yet that, of course, is exactly what an enlarged NATO would mean...
