While there is a lot of enthusiasm for a permanent international criminal court, Scheffer focused heavily on the need to regulate criminal activity in the present, in addition to working to create such a court...
...Gore may have a lock on the votes of organized labor, but the Clinton administration's latest trade deal with China may make it harder to rouse trade union enthusiasm for electing the veep. Labor slammed the agreement Tuesday, with AFL-CIO president John Sweeney calling it a "grave mistake" and Teamsters leader James P.

The art on the walls--especially at Genovese/Sullivan, Clifford-Smith and Bernard Toale, three superb galleries right next to each other-- justified the gush...
