...final effort, Daschle and Lott agreed that the test-ban treaty could be withdrawn if Democrats promised, as Republicans demanded, not to introduce it again during Clinton's presidency except under "extraordinary circumstances." Republicans, who feel they always lose when they cut a deal with Clinton, wouldn't go for that one. As White House press secretary Joe Lockhart said, "They act as if they're afraid even to get in the same room with us because they'll get taken." In the year to come they won't be taking much. Or giving...
...would think the Senate had voted to launch a nuclear weapon. The foreign policy establishment reacted with horror last week when the Senate rejected the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which would ban nuclear tests. Editors were aghast at the "parochial Senators" (the New York Times) who were willing to pay "a risky price...for political points" (the Los Angeles Times).

But Dr. Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College at Cornell University in New York City and her colleagues believe they have found a way to identify very small tumors with low-dose CAT scans. It's a new approach that all smokers and ex-smokers, regardless of race, should keep...
