The more you read, the stupidier they get! Clash of the Scions Al Gore formally announced his candidacy for the Oval Office last week, and it looks as if he'll go head-to-head with another political legacy, George Bush Jr. What's on your ballot? David Runyan Age: 25 Resides: Kensington Village, Brooklyn Occupation: Administrative assistant If you voted today, Bush or Gore? I wouldn't vote for a candidate from Texas. It's an odd place. Tennessee is a little bit friendlier. Who would win? Probably Bush. A lot of people would like to get back to what his father was about. ...

Can the ANC's "Spear of the Nation" Guide the KLA to "Success?" In 1991-92 I spent 18 months living in South Africa, arriving there a month after President F.W. DeKlerk and his Naionalist party repealed the last apartheid restriction. DeKlerk, who was elected in 1989, lifted the bans on the African National Congress, the South African Communist party, and the Pan-African Congress in 1990. During those months I watched, and in fact interacted with, 23 political parties, composed of an extraordinary mixtures of races, ethnicities, tribal customs, African and European languages. They were having marathon meetings on the subject of ...

EXTENSIVE new powers to bug everything from pagers to mobile phones and email correspondence were proposed by the Government yesterday to prevent law enforcement agencies being overtaken by information technology advances. Under existing laws, MI5 and the police must obtain a warrant for every phone number or postal address they want to monitor. This will be replaced by a catch-all permission to intercept any communication to and from a specified individual. Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, said the capability of law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking, terrorism and other serious crime was being impeded by antiquated laws. "Sophisticated criminals ...

Bush came to Washington Tuesday to party with the city's power elite.

THE Howard Government last night settled more than three weeks of confusion on the goods and services tax by confirming that cooked chickens would be taxed. The compromise legislation to remove basic foods from the GST was expected to be tabled in the Senate after 10pm following a written agreement between John Howard and Democrats leader Meg Lees. The resolution of the detail of GST-free food clears the path for the Government's tax package to be passed into law by next Wednesday. The Government had feared that leaving cooked chickens tax-free, as the Democrats wanted, would have exposed the GST ...

Hillary Gets Poll Boost as Child Advocate "First Lady Leads Rudy," blared the Sunday New York Daily News headline, sitting atop the first report in recent memory showing Hillary Clinton pulling ahead of the New York mayor in a poll for the Empire State's U.S. Senate race. The new poll is something of a shocker, since Rudy Giuliani has consistently led Mrs. Clinton in head-to-head match-ups for months. And Hillary's lead is fairly impressive, with 47 percent preferring her, 39 percent for Rudy, among 805 registered New York voters surveyed last week. The Daily News credited one issue above all ...

SACRAMENTO--When former assemblywoman Martha Escutia took up the cause of protecting children from environmental hazards two years ago, she knew it was a longshot. But even as she watched then-Gov. Pete Wilson veto legislation she introduced on the subject, Escutia (D-Whittier) vowed to continue the fight. Now a state senator, she is promoting a stronger and better-focused bill that has favorable odds. Central to her measure, SB 25, is the concern that children are more susceptible to environmental threats than adults because their bodies are developing, they are outside more and proportionately they breathe more air. It seemed a natural ...

...Hyde, Past Foes Push House Legislation... In February 1998, federal agents confiscated the Red Carpet Motel in Houston. The owners were not charged with any crimes. But the local U.S. attorney announced that they had "tacitly approved" of drug activity by their guests by failing to implement police security recommendations. One of those recommendations was to raise their room rates. The rolling of the Red Carpet was a fairly extreme case, but similar horror stories have helped unite a remarkable bipartisan coalition behind a bill to make it much harder for the federal government to seize private property without filing ...

ATLANTA - A Georgia woman said yesterday she has filed an obscenity complaint against the Toys ''R'' Us retail chain after her 11-year-old son picked up an Austin Powers doll that asked him: "Do I make you horny baby, do I?" Tamatha Brannon, of the Atlanta suburb of East Point, said she had to explain the meaning of the word "horny" to her son, Marvin, after he picked up the talking doll at a store in nearby Morrow, Ga. "He said 'What does horny mean?'" Ms. Brannon said. She was so offended that she bought both of the toys on ...

Kosovo Human Rights Flash #46 (New York, June 18, 1999) Accompanied by a local villager, a Human Rights Watch researcher yesterday inspected the site of a mass killing in Meja, northwest of Djakovica, and found the decayed remains of several men. The men were apparently killed by Serb security forces on April 27, 1999, victims of a massacre in which Human Rights Watch believes at least 100 men were killed. The site appears to confirm testimony that Human Rights Watch collected earlier, in interviews with Kosovar refugees in northern Albania. The bodies were found on the edge of a ...

AN EEOC WITH TEETH Flush with the success of defeating a third world nation run by a second-ratedictator, President Clinton has outlined a massive stream-lining of two federal agencies: The merger of the military with the EEOC. Here's a sampling of what he said: "In Africa or central Europe, we will not allow, only because of differences in ethnic background or religion or racism, people to be attacked. We will stop that....We are committed, not only to making Kosovo safe but to helping people rebuild their lives, rebuild their communities." (Odd how he sidesteps Asia, hey!) The prez then pledged ...

Moderate consumption of beer reduces the risk of heart disease just as well as red wine, the Danish Brewers Association said Wednesday.``It cannot be proved that there is any health advantage in drinking red wine, for example, rather than beer,'' the lobby said in a statement, citing a study by the Institute of Epidemiology and Social Medicine at the University of Muenster.``Epidemiologic studies indicate that light to moderate alcohol consumption from beer, wine or spirits is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality, owing primarily to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease,'' the study showed.The findings of Professor Ulrich ...
