...relied on ideological rivalry between the communist leaderships in Moscow and Beijing to keep its enemies divided. But in these days of post-ideological, yet increasingly chilly, peace, Russia and China are linking arms against the U.S. Presidents Boris Yeltsin and Jiang Zemin held talks Wednesday at a regional summit in the border nation of Kyrgyzstan, and both emphasized the need to build a common front against the U.S. Jiang warned of a "new display of hegemony relying on force (that) has already drawn concern on the international scene," while Yeltsin complained that "some nations are trying to build...
...singer (and ex-boyfriend) K-Ci Hailey for a sort of vocal debate. Mary is somewhat inconsistent in song quality, but Blige's soul-singed vocals save the weaker material. There are also several high points: on Don't Waste Your Time, Aretha Franklin and Blige stage a soulful summit meeting on trifling men, and on All That I Can Say, Lauryn Hill, the song's producer and writer, serves up a gorgeous melody.

It was an opening shot in what promises to be a sustained and challenging salvo for Gore...

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright finally reported a thaw in relations with Beijing ? which have been on ice since the Belgrade embassy bombing ? when she met on Sunday with her Chinese counterpart, Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan. Beijing announced that a previously scheduled September summit between Presidents Clinton and Jiang, which had been in jeopardy, would go ahead following a weekend during which the U.S. firmly reiterated its support for the "One China" policy and gently chided Lee?s claim that Taiwan should be treated as a separate state. Washington?s allies in the Association...
