...Camp David, the hang-up boiled down to Jerusalem. Arafat demanded that the Palestinians have sovereignty over East Jerusalem, but Barak was willing to give him no more than authority over municipal services in that section of the city with Israel retaining overall sovereignty. The two sides also hadn't settled on the new borders and the return of Palestinian refugees, but the negotiators believed those gaps could be bridged once they decided the fate of Jerusalem. But neither man was budging; the talks had hit a brick wall...
...like the all-but-anointed presidential candidates, George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore, to address them. FSB (FORTUNE Small Business) assembled its first CEO round table at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago in May.

For example, a group called Citizens for Better Medicare, which spent about $30 million on ads opposing Bill Clinton's proposal for extending Medicare to cover prescription drugs, is funded by pharmaceutical companies but won't say which ones. House majority whip Tom DeLay, the loudest congressional...
...admit that the security was a wise decision on the part of the police department. Especially in light of last month's Los Angeles Lakers fan-instigated riots, the NYPD had to be prepared for anything. Despite the extensive preparations--the cop standing guard at my seating section had been there since 1 p.m.--nothing of consequence happened...
