...clock, and Austin came alive. The Governor was, in the words of one associate, "like a prizefighter pulling himself off the mat." Back in the bout, he and his family returned to watching the Western states closely, all the while keeping an eye on Florida. When another late-reporting state fell into line, George W. punched the air with what vigor he had left, while his revived brother smiled--and stayed on the line to his operatives back East (right). By 1 a.m. Bush's lead in Florida was 200,000 votes, and although Dade and Broward counties were...
...Situation Report: The Oslo Peace process has essentially collapsed, and Israel and the Palestinians now coexist in a state of low-intensity warfare, even if their leaders continue to discuss the hypotheticals of peace. The breakdown that began with Camp David may have set the peace process back years, and Israel appears poised to elect another right-wing government committed to hitting the 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...
...Situation Report: Slobodan Milosevic may be nothing more than an irrelevant opposition leader now, but the Balkans' woes are from over.

Because the guerrillas allow massive drug cultivation in their territory, the U.S. justifies the money as part of its war on drugs, and the Colombian government is only to happy to accept since the rebels earn hundreds of millions every year taxing the narco-traffickers. But critics warn the expanded military commitment is simply drawing the U.S. into a quagmire, and point out the poor human rights record...
...Situation Report: Once the most dangerous among the "rogue" nations in Washington?s gallery, the archaic Stalinist state is desperate to come in from the cold - if only to stave off mass starvation and economic collapse. And in its efforts to rejoin the real world, the North Koreans have the all-important support of South Korea, which is, after all, the state that those 40,000 U.S. troops are on the Korean peninsula to protect. But then there's the little matter of Pyongyang's missile program, which has long been the centerpiece of arguments for the National Missile Defense...
