...China ever meddled in overseas contributions to the DNC, electronic eavesdropping on the Embassy has prompted the Justice Department to increase the number of FBI special agents working on the inquiry to 25, and to add a bevy of foreign counterintelligence specialists, the paper reported. The White House, already stung by revelations that sleepovers in Lincoln's bed were regularly doled out to the highest bidder, pleaded ignorance of the Chinese affair.

Stung by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans for new Jewish settlements on the West Bank, the demolition of a Palestinian youth center in east Jerusalem and an Israeli unwillingness to fulfill the peace agreement, Arafat called the first general strike since May 1994.
