...First Lady, having lunch with Ickes--a strategy session at which Hillary instructed Ickes to set up meetings with New York power brokers. The President later told an aide, "If anyone had seen us, they would have seen us laughing, but not about what they would think." The aide took that to mean they were talking New York politics, not impeachment. Privately, Clinton has said he thinks his wife will...
...Milosevic finally blinks, it will be a much needed victory for Albright, a validation of her speak-loudly-and-carry-a-tomahawk diplomacy. Since she took office two years ago, America's first female Secretary of State has done plenty of loud talking. Her ultimatums--delivered to leaders as different as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iraq's Saddam Hussein--have become a common refrain in international diplomacy.

...least, the strategy has had mixed results. And Albright has seen her once golden image dim. Places like Baghdad and Belgrade seem every bit as tumultuous today as when she took office.

"Coral's got lots of interconnected channels for the bone cells to grow in," says Vacanti. It also degrades as bone replaces it. The patch...
...courtroom Byrd's family sat in the front row, often weeping as prosecutors piled up what began to look like overwhelming evidence against John William King, 24, the unemployed laborer and ex-con accused of masterminding the dragging. Across from them sat King's wheelchair-bound father Ronald, who took oxygen through tubes and moaned and cried softly through the opening arguments. A few feet in front of him was his son. Visible around the defendant's waist was an electric stun belt, to be used if he grew disruptive...
