...other potential problem is in-fighting at the White House. Ickes and Morris, the twin planets of the Clinton re-election team, barely tolerate each other. They are the poster boys of the opposing White House camps: liberals vs. moderate New Democrats. Morris has solidified his role as Clinton's guru of choice. One night a week, usually Wednesday, he leads a campaign meeting at the residence that includes the President, Vice President, Sosnik, Bob Squier (the campaign media adviser brought in by Morris and Gore), Stephanopoulos and other senior aides. Ickes apparently bridles at Morris' highbrow musing about...
...debt-ceiling extension the G.O.P. now says it will pass next month. The package Gingrich outlined would shave as much as $100 billion from spending during seven years, devoting $25 billion of this to tax cuts. If this package sounds familiar, there's a reason. It's a pale twin of the President's February 1995 budget, the timid postelection plan that launched this yearlong roller-coaster ride in the first place.

The two crew members aboard the F-14 Tomcat died, as did three civilians who were sitting in one of several houses that were set ablaze by the explosion. The twin-engine fighter was returning to Miramar Air Force near San Diego after flying to the Nashville International Airport where it was refueled. "The F-14's engine has long been underpowered and this may have contributed to this crash," notes defense correspondent Mark Thompson. "It is a very difficult plane...
With Java, data and programs--the twin staples of computing--don't have to be stored on your computer anymore. They can reside anywhere on the Internet, called up by whoever needs them, whenever they need them. It's a development that could finally make true Sun's original and hitherto cryptic slogan: The Network Is the Computer. "There's a paradigm shift every 10 or 15 years," says Marc Andreessen, a Web pioneer and co-founder of Netscape Communications. "And we're in one right...
