JONATHAN POLLARD, PACK YOUR BAGS. The water's rising around Hillary Clinton's ankles. Not content with her recent overtures to the Jewish constituency in New York, hundreds of mostly-Jewish demonstrators paid a visit to her Senate campaign headquarters on Sunday. They demanded that she use her influence in the Clinton White House to secure the release of Jonathan Jay Pollard, imprisoned ever since he pleaded guilty to selling U.S. military secrets to Israel 14 years ago. New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind said, "We are not going away. This is only the beginning of the campaign. We want to know from ...

Utah Authorities Search for Runaways By LUBNA KHAN Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) - Police using bloodhounds searched the rocky southern Utah desert on Sunday for seven teen-agers who allegedly beat a counselor unconscious while they were on a camping trip for troubled youth. The seven had stolen radios to monitor police communications, wool coats and blankets, and one-day ration packs of food, authorities said. They fled on Saturday near Cedar City, about 220 miles south of Salt Lake City. `` We have approximately 3,500 square miles of an unforgiving, hostile territory,'' said Iron County Sheriff ...

Looking more like a speaker at an AA meeting than Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, appearing before a rally of high schoolers, declared that he is "Gun free and feeling fine". "For three months every year, I lived as a Southerner," the Vice President continued."And as a Southerner, I fell victim to the addiction that is guns. I was forced to associate myself with guns because it was expected of me. As soon as I was able to get out of spending my summers in Tennessee, I abandoned those Southern ways, and quit my gun use ...

U.S. secrets aboard latest Chinese sub By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES China is beginning work on a new strategic submarine that will be targeted against U.S. nuclear forces and carry missiles with small warheads similar to American weapons, The Washington Times has learned. The People's Liberation Army Navy will start construction in the next several weeks on its first Type 094 missile submarine, according to Pentagon and other administration officials with access to intelligence reports. Preparations for the construction were detected by U.S. spy agencies and reported to senior Pentagon officials late last month. The submarine will carry a ...

WHIPSMART and admirably principled, Alan Keyes is easily the most galvanizing orator of the Republican field, and may well be the country's most compelling speaker.But he is also a crackpot desperado who doesn't have a chance in hell of being the next president, and who increasingly demonstrates that he's the last candidate who should be trusted with the nuclear football.He needs to shut his yap about "media racism" before he embarrasses himself into permanent crankhood.Keyes, understandably frustrated by his failure to break out of the low single digits in opinion polls, berates reporters for "racism" because they don't give him ...

One might think a trial of a major union official, caught in a fraud and embezzlement scheme that has ties to the president's chief fund-raiser, would make Page 1 headlines in every major newspaper in the country and be a top story on CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC — the works. Such news did happen recently, but got little press ink. As a result, few know the story. Here are the facts: On the Friday before Thanksgiving, a federal jury convicted William H. Hamilton Jr. on six counts, including conspiracy, embezzlement, mail fraud, wire fraud and perjury. Hamilton, former political director ...

SUMMARY A couple of weeks ago, Stratfor forecast that Philippine President Joseph Estrada might not finish out his term. This week, the forecast was reported in the Philippines and stirred a huge controversy: Estrada accused Stratfor of being allied with his enemies, the Filipino stock market dipped and politicians debated whether or not Estrada should go. Ultimately, our analysis was quite correct and we stand by it. But the Filipino debate gives us cause to examine our role in disseminating intelligence on the Internet. Normally, Stratfor doesn't talk about Stratfor; this week, we will. ANALYSIS Stratfor does not normally ...

Church-State Muddle Monday, December 6, 1999; Page A26 THE SUPREME Court has just heard arguments in a difficult church-state separation case. At issue is a federal law that gives money to local educational organizations to buy secular learning materials and computer equipment and lend them to schools -- including religious schools. The material itself is not supposed to be religiously oriented, and the allocation of the resources to schools is done in a neutral fashion. At the same time, the aid to the schools is a fairly direct government subsidy of religious educational institutions. The case presents a genuine problem: ...

Conservatives generally refer to America as a "republic". And with the common disdain that many conservatives have towards Democrats, I wonder how conservatives view the word "democracy"? (In trying to get beyond a dictionary definition), what are the orgins of democracy? Is it the Greeks? And how does democracy compare, or contrast, with a republic? What is the best and accurate way to describe our form of government? A constitutional republic? Does the word "democracy" have any place when describing the American form of government? Does the typical conservative view "democracy" as a dirty word; or, is it a perfectly ...

'No knock' numbers going up More raids are being executed, and most result in discovery of drugs, paraphernalia By John C. Ensslin Denver Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer Denver police are breaking more doors to search for drugs. And most of the time they are finding them, as well as guns, cellular phones, cash, scales and other drug-related items, court records show. The department's use of immediate-entry search warrants came under scrutiny last week as an investigation began into whether police raided the right house in a Sept. 29 raid that left a man dead. Last year, Denver's Metro ...

Gun control gaining political prominence Democrats likely to make race for Tancredo's seat battleground over the issue By Michael Romano Denver Rocky Mountain News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- In the post-Columbine world of politics, gun control has evolved into a major issue in the presidential campaign and may decide the balance of power in Congress.

Bradley, author of one of the most ambitious gun-control plans, blames the powerful ...

E-Etiquette By LETITIA BALDRIDGE WASHINGTON -- When it comes to communication, the difference between today and 10 years ago is like the difference between the first century and the 18th century. A laptop or a gadget that sits in the palm of the hand makes our investments, orders our groceries, pays our bills and hooks us up with a merchant in Hong Kong or an Alpine guide on Mont Blanc. Forget the gentle manners that were taught before the advent of the cyberage. Gone. Finito. But even if the traditional forms of civility have evaporated, we still need to greet ...
