...fact is that religious viewpoints have as much right to be expressed and believed as any other. Otherwise the First Amendment would be meaningless. Since we live in a republic, if such views gain majority status through their expression, I can hardly imagine that they could not shape the formation of public policy...
Their plan--coupling a prescription for political settlement with threats of military action if the deal fails--took firm shape, officials told TIME, when the Administration privately decided after the Serb massacre of ethnic Albanians at Racak on Jan. 15 that G.I.s would have to be deployed as peacekeepers. With that decision in her purse, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright sped through Europe last week, pushing the allies into an ultimatum that essentially orders Yugoslavia's President Slobodan Milosevic to sign an agreement on autonomy with Kosovo's ethnic Albanians within three weeks.

While the best WB dramas (Felicity, Buffy and Dawson's Creek) shape teen angst into complex characters and sharp dialogue, Zoe doesn't get much beyond 10[cent] sitcom jokes. The idea of watching four non-vampire slaying Manhattan teenagers sounds appealing, but the show makes you realize how much of high school was down time, not worth committing to script. Zoe makes an effort with realistic teen dilemmas and some quirkiness, but the overall thinness leaves you wanting more Boy Meets World...
