...political ramifications of Ariz. Sen. John S. McCain's courageous condemnation of the religious right's "self-appointed leaders" last Monday in Virginia are still unclear. As was to be expected, Texas Gov. George W. Bush enjoyed the support of Virginia's rank-and-file Republicans and religious conservatives to win all of the state's 56 delegates.

And on Monday, following months of lobbying, Schroeder convinced the 14 other European Union member nations to throw their support behind Caio Koch-Weser, a German technocrat who speaks five languages and has worked at the World Bank for a quarter of a century. But the Clinton administration wasted no time slapping down the E.U. choice, asserting that Koch-Weser is a lightweight who lacks the leadership skills...
