The troika of Clinton, Dole and Gingrich will mobilize the vote," said George Grayson, a Mexico expert at Virginia's College of William and Maiy. "We really have no alternative. We are increasingly part of a world economy, and an economic problem in Mexico will affect the well being and stability of U.S. taxpayers and U.S. stock owners." "In the end, Republicans will vote overwhelmingly for the stabilization package and so will Sun Belt Democrats," Grayson said. Thrown off balance by the sudden fight, the White House mobilized its big guns on Wednesday and also enlisted the support of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.

Archaeologists inching through a cave suddenly found themselves amid a stunning art show ? 300 glacial-era wall paintings of animals, a 20,000-year-old display that experts say eclipses the cave art of Lascaux. The paintings, discovered Dec. 24 in caves of the Ardeche River canyon in smithpm Franpp Hpnirthnrsps li y ?" ons, bison, bears, panthers, mammoths, owls, wild oxen, wild goats and woolly rhinoceroses. "We have there a selection of animals infinitely more varied than the other sites and with exceptional features," said Genevieve Martin, a specialist for the Archaeological Service of the Rhone-Alpes region. The paintings show standing or galloping groups of animals about 15 inches high. Some rhinoceroses were shown . fighting. The Culture Ministry, announcing the find Wednesday, called it "the only totally intact and ornate network of caves from the Paleolithic era." The caves near Combe d'Arc are about 1,500 feet deep in the Ardeche, known for its grottos and subterranean rivers. It is 260 miles south of Paris. The discovery was not announced until Wednesday so the site could be protected. The caves, yet to be named, were quickly protected by a heavy door nMuvxiiMUEr r\r-\r^v^ K As-\rs TU.

They "will not be opened to the public so that the extremely fragile and precious relics can be studied," said Jacques Toubon, a culture minister. "Preservation is our priority at the moment."

"What was done at Lascaux is superb," said Nick Ashton, a researcher at the British Museum's Department of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities. "You're reducing the risk of damage to the paintings from the humidity brought in by human breath " Jean-Marie Chauvet, guardian of about 15 caves in the same area that have prehistoric artifacts, stumbled upon the art with two assistants during an inspection tour, the Culture Ministry said. The caves also contained the bones of about 100 bears still in their hibernation nests, as well as hearths, flints and torches. Archaeologists found bits of clay, iron oxide and manganese that were excavated to make paint. ?.
