...Alene, Butler will be in court facing a civil suit that could cost him his most prized asset: the 20-acre compound where he has lived since 1972, providing a haven for the nation's racist misfits. Featuring a chapel, bunkhouses, gun tower and stage, the $238,000 spread serves as headquarters for Butler's activities, which include a direct-mail operation and a website.

"Your fight is America's fight and the world's fight," Clinton told the National Assembly in his keynote Saturday speech often punctured by applause. But the trip also seemed to act as a political tonic to a president in the twilight of a tenure marred by scandal: He was joyously serenaded by rapturous singers in a cavernous concrete Baptist church Sunday morning, and hailed by tribal chiefs and little children at a tiny village an hour...
