...rewind button while Palestinian public opinion hardens against compromises with Israel. Moreover, the moderate Arab regimes on which Washington has traditionally relied to provide political cover for Arafat are themselves under increasing domestic pressure to distance themselves from Israel and the U.S. While a comprehensive peace appears beyond reach in the near term, the U.S. shares an interest with both the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships in containing the escalation of conflict...
...neighborhood--but important. Watching Charles and Diana's wedding on TV, she asked her mother why no one ever rolled out red carpets for her. So naturally, before her first Olympics, she knew she'd win five track-and-field gold medals. Even a phenomenon's reach must exceed her sprint: Jones won three golds and two bronzes. Unfortunately, that was not the only weight she would have to wear around her neck in Sydney. After she won her first gold, devastating the field in the women's 100 m, came news that her husband, shot putter C. J. Hunter...
...there's a reason analysts are so bullish, competitors so fearful and regulators so confused, it's that even now very few people understand the future scope or reach of a company as big and diverse as AOL Time Warner.

...Gore this is the time in life, the right tragedy, the right male-pattern baldness to occasion a full-fledged midlife crisis. With his first dream dashed, he could reach for a second act more suited to his brainy, scientific gifts. More likely the second act he hopes for is a second chance. But even though he won the popular vote and, for all we'll ever know, the electoral one, his own party is complaining that had he won bigger, he wouldn't have needed to be worried over a few thousand uncounted ballots. Democrats don't like their...
