The White House first said it wasn't planned, but it turns out that Hillary Clinton will be by her presidential husband's side Monday when he comes to the Big Apple to raise campaign cash for Senate wannabes - like his wife - at a performance of "The Iceman Cometh." Think of it as the president's first public push to get his wife a job - and join the Senate spouse club.

Exclusive-- Columbine High School graduate Tara Merrill, who now lives near Nashville, Tennessee, attempted suicide in 1985 while attending the Littleton, Colorado high school that taught 'Death Awareness' as part of its curriculum.Several of her friends also attempted suicide. The possible link between suicide, death, and the Columbine High School curriculum even got the attention of ABC's 20/20. In a 1991 interview, Tara told 20/20's Tom Jarriel that she was taught at school that death 'was something to look forward to.''I had thought about (suicide) as a possible option for a lot of years,' Tara said during the nationally broadcast ...

A largely peaceful protest against corporate exploitation of the environment, workers and consumers turned ugly last week after some in the diverse crowd of 200 environmentalists, pacifists, and anarchists broke windows in a half-dozen businesses downtown and harrassed a few motorists, some who lurched their cars towards marchers blocking traffic. One young man jumped out of a car, chased a retreating protester and bashed him in the head with a wrench. Police initially kept their distance, but later teargassed the crowd as they dispersed into a park. Policelater used pepper spray and selective arrests against protesters as the crowd broke ...

The following is a strong case for accurately remembering your own history. Much nonsense has been bantered about the great Yugoslavian resistance of WWII..There was Serbian resistance, but a stong case can be made that Yugoslavia as a whole fought the war out as an ally of Germany. There is however, another story. I only recently became aware of it myself. Perhaps it is a good example of how a people can become the victims of thier own historic revisionism. Here a story you may not have heard: The fight in the region of Pristina was to be the ...

Counterpoint: When buyers choose SUVs, Earth pays a price M. Michael Menzel The EPA's proposal to set tougher emission standards has the approval of President Clinton, but elsewhere it has evoked a broad array of interesting comments. I believe this debate needs to rise to the next level and ask who, if anyone, should be responsible for the production and purchase of a product that is harmful to the overall well-being of citizens and the environment. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are just one of a long list of polluters whose health-damaging effects are mounting, and the private citizens (most ...

So what do Kosovo, Greece, science, and swing dancing have in common? Her name is Chris.Chris and I have been a part of an informal swing dancing group for several months now. Chris is a very nice girl with a pleasant easy going personality and is fun to be around. Chris has a Doctorate in some branch of biology that I have forgotten and is presently doing post doc work at a lab here run by Duke University.

STATEMENT OF DR. STEPHEN D. BRYEN PREPARED FOR DELIVERY TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND FINANCE, SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE, JUNE 24, 1999   I have been asked to comment on the proposed Export Administration Act of 1999.  Unfortunately, I have had less than two days to evaluate the proposed legislation, so I cannot provide a comprehensive assessment.  Nonetheless, I can offer comments and observations that may help the committee in its deliberations on this measure. The critical question to be asked and answered is the following: will the proposed legislation advance the objective of having a credible and workable ...

  MOD EXPLAINS PAYOUT TO GURKHA WIDOW 24 June 1999 19:06 The widow of the Nepalese Gurkha killed while tackling unexploded bombs in Kosovo will receive a far smaller pension in cash terms than one which would be paid to the widow of a British colleague of similar rank, it was acknowledged today. But the Ministry of Defence insisted that the discrepancy was not unreasonable, given the vast difference in the cost of living between the UK and Nepal. Lieutenant Gareth Evans, 25, from Bristol, and Sergeant Balaram Rai, 35, from Kathmandu became the first British casualties of the ...

Until the world exploded on my front lawn in January 1998, I was only slightly familiar with a young woman named Monica Lewinsky. I know of her only because of her incessant phone calls to our house and, later, her visits.The calls began before my mother returned home from work and continued through the evening and into the night for more than a year. I wasn't unusual for Monica to call 30 or 40 times in one evening; the answering machine would fill up with her demands that my mother pick up. Eventually, we installed Caller I.D. to screen her ...

The recent reactionary decisions by the Supreme Court that strengthened (albeit, by not much) so called "State's Rights" are perfect demonstrations of the intellectual idiocy of the Bush and Reagan Court appointees. While most people (I mean people who count, I.E. any member of the Mainstream Press and everyone in Academia, besides Tom Sowell, Robert Bork, and the entire quasi fascist Federal society) see these recent court decisions as the first step towards home grown American Nazism, I see an opportunity. Yes, I see an opportunity to open a final debate on the existence and necessity of States themselves! Much ...

Beijing's Threats Prompt Calls for Taiwan Independence: MAC Bangkok, June 24 (CNA) Wu An-chai, vice chairman of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) warned Beijing on Thursday the stronger the military threat from mainland China, the more popular the call for Taiwan independence will be. "Prior to Beijing's missile threat in March 1996, only 9 percent of Taiwan's people preferred an overt breaking of relations with the mainland. After that incident, this group of people increased to 21 percent," he said. Wu, who left Bangkok for Manila after a three-day visit, made the remarks to high-ranking Thai government officials, academicians, journalists ...

Rights groups sue companies doing business in Cuba MIAMI (AP) - Two anti-Castro groups filed a lawsuit Thursday against two dozen U.S. and foreign companies doing business with Cuba's government, saying the companies are aiding the oppression of island residents. The Cuban Committee for Human Rights and the Independent Federation of Electric, Gas and Water Plants of Cuba filed the suit, which seeks $1.35 billion for Cuban workers and an order banning the companies from doing business with Cuba. ``These companies are nothing but collaborators,'' said Eduardo J. Navarro, attorney for the plaintiffs. ``If they had done the same thing ...

ratko_- 05:33pm Jun 24, 1999 EST (#15847 of 15901) I feel like throwing up every time I hear the word "humanitarian" from any NATO spokesperson. I'm right there with you, my Serbian Brother. Why should we Serbs every be held back by a bunch of NATO warpigs?? I've had enough of their posturing about having superior manners and "humanitarian" aims. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was burning down Kosovar villages and raping the few surviving women, and those stinking NATO guys had to get into the midst of it. I cannot think that we could ...

Can American Culture Withstand the Public Posting of the 10 Commandments? Why are We ARGUING over the Basic Laws in the Ten Commandments? By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.orginalsources.com) June 24, 1999 Associated Press reported yesterday that the House voted to "allow the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools and other government buildings. By 248-180, lawmakers approved Rep. Robert Aderholt's amendment to a juvenile crime bill that would allow states to decide whether to permit such displays on government property. The amendment, Aderholt said, was a 'first step' for government in reinstilling the value of human life in ...

Wednesday, June 23, 1999 Globalism's first victim Yugoslavia annoys NATO because it rejects the New World Order David Orchard National Post In March, the most powerful military force in history attacked tiny Yugoslavia and after 79 days of flagrantly illegal bombing, forced an occupation of Kosovo. Admitting its intention was to break Yugoslavia's spirit, NATO targeted civilian structures, dropping over 23,000 bombs and cruise missiles in a campaign of terror, described recently by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn: "I don't see any difference in the behaviour of NATO and of Hitler. NATO wants to erect its own order in the world and ...

Be all that you can be, including a pagan Things were going so well for the witches stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, the largest military post in America. Then reports of what’s going on there appeared in newspapers. Now some spoilsport congressman is demanding the Army explain what the deuce is going on. About two years ago a few witchcraft aficionados at Fort Hood asked the Army to officially recognize them. They’d run out of space to hold their meetings. Wishing to show that today’s Army is for everyone, the military approved. It set aside a special place for the ...
