...armed intervention is never justified under UN principles if a peaceful alternative is available. It is on this point that any American or other ally faces its strongest challenge. Can the various terms of the Security Council's earlier resolutions--complete withdrawal from Kuwait, etc.--be achieved without resort to military confrontation? If the answer is yes, then the United States has no business launching an attack...
...Montana as perhaps the greatest football team of all time. But this year the Niners are scrambling their way to the top. In half of their games they have had to come from behind to win. The good news, says inside linebacker Matt Millen, is that "this team never panics. We know that if we play up to our potential, we'll find a way to beat...
...least some farm products. Even Bouley buys some farmed oysters. At Manhattan's 21 Club, chef Michael Lomonaco is extravagant in praise of cultivated scallops, raised on Cape Cod -- "beautiful, absolutely delicious."

Because of the performers' power, the Moresbys come alive onscreen as they never quite did in the book. Bertolucci looks at Malkovich, the lizardly eminence of Dangerous Liaisons, and thinks of Brando: "They are two monoliths, unchanging, absolutely still -- and, from the first moment, condemned." Winger, for too many years the great unused actress of American film, is the perfect vessel...
