...prosecution is on stronger ground with its testimony from Allan Park, the limo driver who went to Simpson's residence to drive him to the airport. He reported that no one answered when he rang at 10:42 p.m., a time verified by a phone call he then made to his boss. During the call, he says, he saw a black person about six feet tall enter the house--after which O.J. answered the intercom to say he had been sleeping.

Demographics, immigration, the allure of secular U.S. culture--all these forces and more...
National Security correspondent Douglas Waller reports that Clinton Administration officials believe that U.N. troops are not equipped to enforce a cease-fire. "There will be large numbers of American troops on the ground in Bosnia throughout the presidential campaign next year," adds Washington bureau chief Dan Goodgame.
