...tide of Rwandan refugees in and outside of the country has risen to 4 million, and U.N. officials are reporting some cases of bubonic plague in addition to the epidemic of cholera. President Clinton, who has drawn criticism from relief officials for not acting quickly enough on the Rwandan crisis, will put up an additional $41.4 million for humanitarian aid there, raising the U.S. contribution to almost $200 million. He also said he would spearhead an international program to stem the cholera epidemic...
...boat packed with 200, reported Edward J. Barnes, TIME's correspondent in Haiti. This is the second major boating tragedy reported there since a liberalized U.S. immigration policy took effect June 16, and probablyjust one in a long line of similar unreported incidents, according to Barnes.

...past anniversaries of the invasion are any indication, the emotion of the moment will carry the day. "That war," Clinton told the , graduating class at the U.S. Naval Academy last week, "marked the turning point of our century, when we joined with our Allies to stem a dark tide of dictatorship, and to start a flow of democracy and freedom that continues to sweep the world." While peace is far from universal even in Europe, Western Europe is more prosperous and more unified than it has ever been. The cold war proved to be only a temporary faltering. The success...
