...Jerusalem promptly recalled its ambassador from Austria for an indefinite period. The action sharpened a painful dilemma for the Israeli government. On the one hand, Israeli leaders feel obligated to pursue an ongoing investigation into $ charges that Waldheim participated in Nazi atrocities. On the other, they fear that harsh treatment of Waldheim could jeopardize Austrian cooperation in matters like Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union. Said Prime Minister Shimon Peres: ''It's not a simple question, and there are no simple answers.'' Even Waldheim's defenders seemed less than enthusiastic. In Moscow, the Soviet news agency TASS issued a commentary...
...developments are not easy on a typical worker, whose real wages have sunk, by one estimate, to their 1967 level. Yet many Mexican officials feel that their diligence in making sacrifices, and in honoring every debt payment so far, has been insufficiently recognized by creditors abroad. ''Mexico requires special treatment,'' said Angel Gurria, head of foreign credit at the Finance Ministry. ''But bankers balk at setting a precedent.''

Writing for four of the Justices,* Justice John Paul Stevens noted that federal law ''does not authorize the Secretary (of HHS) to give unsolicited advice either to parents, to hospitals or to state officials who are faced with difficult treatment decisions concerning handicapped children.'' To the court's knowledge, no hospital had refused treatment sought by parents or mandated by the order of a state court, Stevens pointed out. Moreover, hospitals need parental consent to treat a minor, handicapped or not --and since parents are not compelled...
...made sense to try lower-ranking operatives first, in case anything went wrong. Hamdan had also been in U.S. custody since his capture and had not been rendered to any foreign countries for interrogation, which might have opened the door for his defense lawyer to raise questions about his treatment. And his story certainly had narrative appeal: Hamdan had been with bin Laden between 1996 and 2001, a stretch of time that spanned not just 9/11 but al-Qaeda's 1998 attacks on two embassies in East Africa and the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen...
