BLITZER: But will you concede, though, that the dash for the airport in Pristina, and grabbing hold of that piece of territory, helped them [Russians]get a better deal for their peacekeepers in Kosovo than would have been the case if they had not done so? CLINTON:[whopper1] I'm not sure that's right for the following reason. I felt that it was important myself, and I told all of our people this and several of our NATO allies, that Russia had a different role in Kosovo because of the importance of making clear our common commitment to protect civilians, both the ...

I graduated from high school nearly ten years ago. The decade that follows graduation is a tumultuous one. For most it’s time to get a job (either immediately, or after college briefly postpones the inevitable), and so careers are hatched and paths set by choice or necessity. I can’t speak for other generations, but for many Canadians my age walking into a government job, whether it requires a college degree or not, is something akin to winning the lottery. When the government hires you, your proud family and jealous friends alike will say rather frankly that you’re pretty well ...

Sat. 6/19/99 Friends, Geraldo Rivera is about to blow the Drug War wide open this SUNDAY. Our good friends at the Media Awareness Project (MAP) intend to send a strong message of support and they are asking for our help. They are asking us to e-mail, FAX or write NBC to commend them for this bold stand against the Drug War. In case you didn't already know, MAP is kicking major butt on the Internet. Or should we say "General" butt. Just last week, General Barry McCaffrey complained bitterly about MAP four separate times in his testimony to Congress. ...

I'm not sure of the exact time and city but there was a situation in, I beleive Cincinati, when the city counsel passed a law requiring registration of all privately owned hanguns in the city. They told everyone that there was no need for anyone to fear this new requirement. There were no plans for future confiscation. So they said. At some time later, the counsel decided to ban a certain type of firearm, I beleive the so called "Saturday Night Special". Where did they start? They went to the database created during the handgun registration process to find the ...

THIS IS A SHAMELESS APPEAL FOR YOUR HELP!!! Our nuclear secrets have entered the public domain. China is directly benefiting from our satellite, launch, communications and nuclear weapons technology. The powers in the world are shifting away from the U.S. and peace. Our own technology can (and has been) used against us. Our military is undermanned and poorly equipped, morale is low and they are spread too thin. Our intelligence community is understaffed and unsupported. Executive orders, policies and procedures frequently ignore military and intelligence advise and Congressional consent. In short, the world's only super-power has lost its grip. ...

I saw on TV a quick quote by Dennis Hastert. I also heard it on the radio. Once each. He said that there was still time to submit another gun-control bill before the House recessed. In view of the way he said it, it sounded like he was very much in favor of a gun-control bill. I can't find anything on AP/Reuters wire to post here. Can anyone find it and post it?

Clinton To Live in Ark., NY COLOGNE, Germany (AP) - President Clinton, turning his attention to matters at home, said Sunday that he plans to divide his post-presidential time between Arkansas and New York and will work hard on issues he cares about - since he's not good enough at golf to become a professional. As for Hillary Rodham Clinton, if she becomes ``Senator Clinton,'' she would ``obviously have to spend a lot more time,'' in New York, he said. He brushed off speculation Mrs. Clinton is considering moving out of the White House and getting a place to live ...

The E-Man Cometh: Will The Postman Strike Back? Copyright CMP Media, June 1999 By BILL FREZZA Adams Capital Management As the winds of deregulation sweep across the globe, revitalizing vast industries, one institution stands immune: the U.S. Postal Service. This is no surprise. With almost 900,000 largely union employees, situated in every congressional district, the Post Office is a potent political force,dedicated first and foremost to its own perpetuation. Yet, the gales of the Internet blow strong, oblivious to boundaries established by mere politicians. It doesn't take a genius to look a few years ahead and envision a shrinking ...

NEW YORK, June 20 (UPI) Among the multiple horrifying massacres now being uncovered in Kosovo by NATO, Newsweek says it has learned of one in which Serbs settled old scores with their ethnic Albanian neighbors because of the clout their businesses held in the community.

Several eyewitnesses among their neighbors survived to tell about the family's massacre and of other ethnic Albanians in their town. Their stories ...

Updated 12:19 PM ET June 20, 1999 NEW YORK, JUNE 20 (UPI) Residents of Astoria, Queens witnessed a bizarre event this morning: a bull charging down the neighborhood's streets.

The new poll is something of a shocker, since Rudy Giuliani has consistently led Mrs. Clinton in head-to-head match-ups for months.
