...Wednesday's multinational security conference, President Clinton today pledged more than $100 million to Israel to help combat terrorism. Clinton also promised stronger security ties with Israel as he met with Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres one day after 28 world leaders gathered in Egypt for an unprecedented summit against terrorism. Clinton acknowledged that stopping suicide bombers who have terrorized Israel since Feb. 25, is a near impossible task. "You couldn't do it before the meeting and we can't do it in six months time," Clinton said. "I wish I had it in my power to reach into...
GAZA STRIP: Even as world leaders met at Sharm El-Sheikh for an international anti-terror summit, Israel continued combating terrorism on its own. Palestinian lands remain sealed off, as they have been for the past two and a half weeks.

"We must not let the terrorists in the Middle East have the victory they seek: the death of the very hope for peace," Clinton said Monday night. Clinton's trip is expected to be the first step toward...
...hours, concurrently with the White House "summit," I took it upon myself to troll my cable box in order to get a feel for precisely the sort of sex and violence the conferees were fretting. I might add that I am well qualified for the task, having worked five years ago as a writer on a short-lived Fox program called Best of the Worst, a compendium of so-awful-they-were-ostensibly-amusing video clips. One example: a Japanese game show called Endurance that featured men having their nipples burned by a magnifying glass...
