...election did not always seem so tight. Late last fall, with Israel plagued by Palestinian terror attacks, polls showed Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and of the center-left Labor Party running behind Netanyahu of the nationalistic Likud. When Rabin was murdered in November by a right-wing assassin trying to sabotage the peace process, the country swung behind Labor and its new leader, Peres. Since then, subsequent terror strikes have eroded that edge to a few percentage points...
...AITKEN, senior editor of TIME's Society section, doubled recently as editor of Mad Genius: The Odyssey, Pursuit, and Capture of the Unabomber Suspect (Warner Books; $5.99), an in-depth look at the terror-bomb saga prepared at lightning speed by TIME staff members and shipped to stores this week. Others raced to put out "quickie" books on the case; ours not only combined fresh reporting and thoughtful writing, but it also got there first. The 11-day effort left Aitken newly impressed by what first-rate team journalism can achieve. "I hesitate to say this, because I treasure...
MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM, 59; Ousted Marxist President of Ethiopia From 1977 to 1991, he ruled supreme. Now he is Addis Ababa's most reviled criminal defendant.

The piece offers a number of valid and important criticisms of Israel's Operation "Grapes of Wrath" in southern Lebanon. I have very mixed feelings about the operation. I deeply regret the serious loss of life and extensive damage that Israel has caused in Lebanon, and I am overjoyed that a cease-fire seems to have taken hold. This said, I would like to raise two balancing points which I feel...
Relief workers stationed in Liberia are accustomed to their share of danger, but last week even they had seen enough. As the capital, Monrovia, was engulfed in the worst round of terror in six years, relief workers huddled around two-way radios waiting for news of an evacuation. During lulls in the shooting, those who could made their way to the U.S. embassy. On Tuesday the first U.S. MH-53 helicopter finally appeared over the horizon. "Soldiers threatened to rape our children," said Brian Johnson of World Relief after touching down in neighboring Sierra Leone. "I feel very good...
