HILLARY'S DESIGNATED HITTER?

Madeline Albright, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, is now slated to lead the American delegation to a U.N.-sponsored women's conference in Beijing at the end of this month. It is not clear whether Hillary Clinton, who was to lead the group, will attend the meeting. Critics ofthe Clinton Administration's handling of the Chinese arrest of American Harry Wuhad insisted that the First Lady should not go to China under the circumstances. "I don't think the White House will send Mrs. Clinton unless Harry Wu is released," says TIME's Dean Fischer.
