Panama Canal Amendment Seen as Political Maneuver
Critics in Washington called a proposed Senate amendment on U S passage and defense rights a sugar coated political maneuver that fails to secure post 2000 U S access or military options. Adm Moorer and former Deputy Defense Secretary Clements urged a strong clear security clause as essential to the treaty’s integrity.

Allegations Campbell leveled were disputed as Rader charged that Campbell’s public remarks echo a demagogue running for office. The feud stems from last year when Rader fired Welfare Dept employee Charles Pitner after it surfaced he aided Campbell’s campaign, a move Campbell had previously urged Rader to allow Pitner to stay. Campbell claimed he did not know the Merit System Law barred political campaign involvement.

Card play philosophy in bridge defense and assumptions
In a North South puzzle the defender must make a key assumption about South's heart holding to beat the contract. The author argues that avoiding crediting South with the ace or hearts allows four heart tricks to be scored and leads to leading the nine of hearts at trick four to prevent declarer from making the contract. The piece illustrates decision making and strategic risk in contract bridge.

Senate passes sweeping federal crime code reform
The proposal would consolidate federal criminal statutes into a single code, trimming obsolete provisions and aligning penalties to reduce disparities. Largely the work of the late Sen. John L. McClellan, the measure sparked intense debate and faced conservative opposition. It delays effect for two years, preserves capital punishment limits for now, and centers on civil liberties gains praised by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy while drawing criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union.
