WHEN the first Navy Seals slithered onto the Somali beachhead last December, faces streaked with camouflage paint, commando knives at the ready, they were startled to find themselves suddenly awash in television lights, their landing recorded by scores of paunchy journalists waiting on the sand in cut-off jeans and shower clogs. But last weekend, when an Army Ranger company was decimated raiding a warlord's hideout, losing more than a dozen soldiers killed, scores wounded, two helicopters downed and a relief column ambushed, there were no American reporters in the country.

Mr. Clinton's Dark Night
Date: 10 October 1993
President Clinton hasn't found the time to speak out publicly as House Democrats toy with ways to weaken his proposed campaign finance reform legislation. But he did manage to squeeze in an appearance last week at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's $1,500-a-plate fund-raising dinner. It was a sneak appearance in the truest sense. To avoid embarrassing pictures of the populist-sounding President hobnobbing with lobbyists and the other influential high-rollers who populated most of the tables at the black-tie event, the White House took an extraordinary step. It barred reporters, photographers and camera crews from the room.
