...gantlet of cameras into the federal courthouse, the rumors that the DNA tests on the dress would prove his undoing, the growing consensus that he was walking into a perjury trap, led outsiders to assert that he would soon have no choice but to confess all--and insiders to suspect essentially the opposite: that he would admit not a single thing, deny any romance, dismiss Lewinsky as a fantasizing stalker and even consider refusing to turn over a blood sample that could match his DNA to the stain on the dress. Fight it out, all the way, without looking back...
Likewise, some of the familiar groups involved in terror, like Lebanon's Hizballah and the Palestinian militants of Hamas, seem less suspect this time, since both now largely restrict their attacks to Israeli targets. But little dissident cells keep proliferating, and for many of them America is a generalized object of their hatred. A previously unknown group calling itself the Liberation Army of the Islamic Shrines phoned the Cairo office of al-Hayat newspaper to claim responsibility after the blast but offered no information to back up its claim.

They suspect the two embassies were chosen because they were "soft": easily accessible buildings in wide-open countries that offered easy entry to people and explosives...
...early morning swoop in the town of Omagh Monday, except that they were wanted in connection with the most bloody terrorist attack in the territory's recent history. The perpetrators of Saturday's car-bomb attack that killed 28 people and wounded 220 are unknown, although police suspect a Republican splinter group that calls itself the Real IRA. But why would they plant a bomb in a mostly Catholic town? And was the most horrific part of the atrocity -- that a misleading telephone warning led people to be standing right at the spot where the explosion took place -- a mistake...
