...double up as peacekeepers until support personnel arrive -- a messier scenario. Clinton also has not canceled plans to attend a major fund raiser in California Sunday, he adds, an unlikely place from which to supervise an invasion. On the flip side, holding off until Tuesday to ensure the military brass's "clockwork operation" exposes Clinton to a possible rebuke from Congress: TIME correspondent J.F.O. McAllister says a resolution vote could be organized as early as Monday night...
...unfair tactic in the sexual-harassment wars should look at the 10-inch file in the Hansen case, and at the fact that it took the intervention of three members of Congress -- Senator Paul Wellstone and Representative Bruce Vento in addition to Durenberger -- to get the Navy brass to pay attention. Durenberger told TIME last week that the Navy still hasn't given him an unedited report on the Hansen case: "I'm not one to put a hold on anything, but I didn't have any choice but to use Arthur.

This has meant a logistical nightmare for U.S. forces. The American forward base at Entebbe in Uganda, 300 miles from Goma, had only one international phone line for communication with top brass in Europe and the U.S. The disorganization, lack of fuel and congestion at all central African airports grounded many planes meant to ferry relief supplies.

Several U.S. military flights that did make it as far as Goma...

Brahms delayed writing this symphony for over 20 years, fearing that he would forever remain in the shadow of Beethoven. However, it seems here that Haitink might be the one who feels himself in the shadows of the great symphonists...
...Would he last for years, six months, six weeks? At a press conference in Naples, Clinton said he saw no reason to panic. Though South Korean President Kim Young Sam had ordered his forces on emergency alert just in case, Clinton said he agreed with Washington's top brass that events had revealed "no evident alarming change" and that nothing ) so far warranted beefing up the 35,000 U.S. forces now stationed in the South. Asked what he thought of Kim Jong Il's prospects, however, the President admitted, "I don't know how to answer that...
