LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:

ormer anti-war activist Bill Clinton now so completely embraces militarism that he has even declared war with himself. Who will win? Touchy-feely Billy, who shares pain with adolescents, or Camouflage Clinton, who dispatches Texaco tankers to five-alarm blazes?

The big daily newspaper companies have noticed the flourishing alternative market and are beginning to respond in typical monopolistic style by buying up the properties.

Some critics believe that the U.S. Drug Czar's hesitancy to embrace marijuana's potential as medicine undermines his credibility with the public.

Also this week, we check out some doubts about the forthcoming national census, examine the web presence of the Election 2000 hopefuls, and get the benefit of our columnists' opinions on population control, events in Littleton, the presence of evil in the world, and more.
