...with me, but I can assure you I don't have any overwhelming desire to set eyes on him either. Still, I feel there are competing forces around Yeltsin that just won't let him meet with me. We've got to give up petty ambitions, like demands for troop withdrawals, and reach an agreement to put an end to the war. Today I can guarantee that Russian troops will leave peacefully. I wouldn't guarantee them a free exit several months from...
...every student knows, should you want to have any eyesight left when you receive your diploma, you cannot rely on Harvard lighting during late night study seesions. Instead, students troop to the Coop and plunk down their $20 for the halogen lamp. This is hardly an exaggeration: the number of halogen lamps per room on campus is certainly beyond the n+1 ratio...

Apache helicopters will keep constant watch near...
...opposed to the measure as the public and myself may be, however, Clinton's executive power will have placed 20,000 troops within Bosnia before Christmas. Had the embargo been lifted at the war's beginning, or had America truly demonstrated its resolution in the face of Serbian atrocity, perhaps the present action would be a distant thought. Yet as Vietnam has taught us, it is best to have a public in support of the President and more importantly, our soldiers in such situations. Such is the reasoning behind Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole's bill supporting the troop deployment...
