Members of Congress and makers of drugs say the Clinton Administration has gone far beyond what Congress intended when it passed legislation last year to insure that all children would be vaccinated. Although Congress did not specify how the vaccine would be distributed, lawmakers say the Administration is now planning a much larger role for the Federal Government than they ever envisioned.

Rachel Cohen says she has managed to keep the Israeli Government line straight in her head. As articulated to her during the last week by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and other senior officials, it runs like this: Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader, has almost no credibility, yet Israel must nonetheless keep on negotiating with him. Some Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are all but worthless, yet Israeli soldiers must defend them with their blood. The Israeli Army might return in force to the Gaza Strip if things go sour there, yet everyone is glad that Israel has finally shaken Gaza's dust from its clothes.

Sam cooks, Dick cleans, George collects the rent and Chuck raids the refrigerator. Weeknights, they shoot the breeze in their underwear in the Capitol Hill town house where two of them sleep in unkempt beds in the living room like so many superannuated frat boys, and check to see if anyone they know turns up on "Nightline." Weekdays, as members of Congress, these four help make the trade, farm, environmental and crime laws of the United States. Their little den on D Street may be the capital's highest-powered political domicile outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, so celebrated that it became the subject of a proposed TV sitcom called "Four in the House." (The President has a standing invitation, but hasn't come so far.)

United States intelligence officials have concluded that an American-led invasion to restore the Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power in Haiti would succeed easily. But they warn that it would not bring a quick end to the turmoil and violence that have swept the country, and that an international force to maintain order could be needed there for years. The view, which represents a broad consensus among intelligence agencies and some of Father Aristide's staunchest supporters, comes as the Clinton Administration is struggling to develop a plan both to return the deposed President and to create conditions so he can govern peacefully.
