...close--a series of odd but formidable events would unfold. On Jan. 3, Ashcroft's Senate term would expire. Missouri law would require the seat to be declared "vacant," since the victor in the election would be dead. The state's interim Governor, Roger Wilson, who took office last week upon Carnahan's death, would appoint an interim Senator, who would stand for re-election in two years. On Jan. 8, a new Governor will be sworn in as well, but it's still Wilson who would make the appointment, according to the Missouri secretary of state's office. Since...
Gore doesn't want to do it. His face darkens at the thought. The subject of Clinton came up in an interview on Regis Philbin's show last week, and Gore waved it away. Running for President, he said, "is something you really have to do on your own." Gore rarely mentions the President when campaigning. When Gore returned to the White House the other day for briefings on the Middle East, it was the first time he had been in the building since May 22.

...White House, the Counterterrorism Security Group oversees U.S. antiterrorist policy and scans the intelligence reports for threats. The day of the Cole attack, the group met three times. "We were in crisis mode," says a member. Last week the group spotted a threat from an undetermined source against U.S. citizens in Turkey, the Arabian Peninsula and the gulf, and the State Department issued a warning to Americans to avoid those regions. "It could be a threat from a variety of groups," says the CSG member. "Al-Qaeda, Hizballah, the Jerusalem Warriors--all sorts of scum...
...taken the lead in the Cole investigation. Last week it got a break in another case when a former Army sergeant pleaded guilty to conspiring in the embassy-bombing plot, fingering Bin Laden as an associate. In Aden, FBI and Navy divers have set up a crime-scene grid on the bottom of the harbor to sift evidence systematically. The divers are searching it inch by inch for the remains of the bomb, the boat that carried it and the suicide bombers. Officials tell TIME that sailors aboard the Cole took snapshots as the ship arrived in port. FBI agents...
