...suite at the Chateau Marmont with Michael Stipe, Quincy Jones, Bobby Shriver (the record-producing and fund-raising son of Sargent and Eunice Kennedy Shriver) and Jamie Drummond, DATA's director. It's a new-ideas meeting, and Bono hopes to tap some of the music industry's sharpest philanthropic minds to raise public awareness for DATA's core issues. "Don't send money. You already have," announces Stipe, trying out copy for a debt-relief mass-mailing postcard. The room loves...

In 1998 a committee of conservative foreign-policy analysts--many of them now in the Bush Administration--wrote to President Clinton proposing the recognition of an alternative government of Iraq and the establishment of safe havens from which local forces could attack Saddam.
