Clinton: 'We turned tide of history.' (Democratic party makes gains in mid-term elections)

Article Abstract:

The Democratic party performed much better than had been anticipated in the Nov 1998 mid-term elections. Indeed, for the first time since 1934 the party of an incumbent President increased its representation in the House. The number of Democrats in the House of Representatives has risen by five, while the balance of power in the Senate remains unchanged. Republicans had hoped that scandal surrounding President Bill Clinton's private life would bring them additional votes, but this did not prove to be the case.

A carefully planned attack on soft targets

Article Abstract:

It is clear that the bomb attacks on the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, were carefully coordinated. It is likely that the attacks were motivated by a desire to protest against US policies outside the immediate region. The US has a number of enemies, including an Egyptian group known as Jihad, which has already threatened to retaliate for US assistance in extraditing Islamists to Cairo, Egypt, from Albania.
