    Clinton's Middle East Legacy: A Scuttled Peace?
    Augustus Richard Norton
    "As we listen to the death rattles of the peace process, it is past
    time to acknowledge the obvious. Under the leadership of
    President Clinton, the United States has proved itself incapable of
    playing the role of honest broker in the difficult negotiations
    between Israel and the Palestinian Authority."

    U.S. Navy Captain Charles Gridley earned a place in history on May 1,
    1898, during the Battle of Manila Bay. 
    Richard Harris 
    Just after midnight on May 1, 1898, the USS
    Olympia led the United States' Asiatic Squadron
    quietly through the calm, glassy waters of the Boca
    Grande Channel, between the island of Corregidor
    and the coast of Luzon in the Philippines. The United
    States was at war with Spain, and the American
    squadron was preparing to attack a Spanish fleet in
    Manila Bay. As Sunday morning dawned hours later,
    the Olympia's commander, Captain Charles Gridley,
    waited for the order to fire his ship's guns. The order
    would come from the squadron's commander,
    Commodore George Dewey, who watched from atop
    the Olympia's flying bridge as shore batteries fired
    harmlessly at the advancing column of American
    ships.At 5:40 A.M. Dewey finally hailed Gridley with
    the now-famous words, "You may fire when you are
    ready, Gridley." 
    
    The ensuing Battle of Manila Bay ended with the
    destruction of the Spanish fleet and the surrender of
    the Philippine capital of Manila. It signaled to the
    world that the United States was a major naval power
    and made Dewey a national hero. The pivotal sea
    battle also hastened the death of the terminally ill
    Captain Gridley. Though considered one of the best
    and brightest officers in the United States Navy at the
    time of his death, Gridley would probably be forgotten
    today if it weren't for Dewey's command.

    International Jurisdiction in Cyberspace: Which States May Regulate the
    Internet? 
    By Stephan Wilske & Teresa Schiller 
    
    The Internet now reaches 60 million users in 160 countries, with the number
    increasing each year. Although
    cyberspace has been viewed as a self-regulating entity controlled by no
    government, this myth is being destroyed as the
    global Internet community expands. With this expansion comes a question: Who
    has the authority to regulate
    cyberspace? Given that decisions about the Internet reach far beyond national
    borders, the answer to this question is
    unknown, but certainly has broad implications. Traditional laws of
    international jurisdiction, including jurisdiction to
    prescribe, jurisdiction to adjudicate, and jurisdiction to enforce, offer some
    clear answers. However, further
    development of these laws will be required in order to solve inevitable
    conflicts. For the time being, Internet users
    should be aware that the consequence for a few keystrokes is uncertain and
    possibly severe.

    PUTTING TEETH IN THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS BAN
    Biological weapons are cheap to make and easy to hide -- an
    international security problem that extends well beyond Iraq. But
    enforcement of the existing treaty would require intrusive measures that
    might compromise legitimate biotech and pharmaceutical R&D.

    NATO enlargement, yes or no?
    In July, NATO members voted to invite Poland, Hungary, and the
    Czech Republic to join their military alliance, all the time insisting that
    eastward expansion has nothing to do with kicking an
    already-weakened Russia while it's down.
    But is expanding NATO such a good idea?
    "Mlad" and "Star"
    In January 1944 Ted Hall was an 18-year-old whiz kid who had already
    been to Harvard and was now part of the Manhattan Project, working on the
    implosion problem at Los Alamos. When he went home to visit his parents in New
    York, he also went looking for a Russian contact who might be interested in the
    secrets he had to tell.
