I've Been Lonely Too Long

, Now that the cold war is over, MUAMMAR GADDAFI is feeling left out. Early this summer Britain brushed off his clumsy attempt to make up for the 1984 London murder of a female British constable by an unidentified gunman firing from Libya's embassy. A Gaddafi aide slipped a visiting Member of Parliament a check for $500,000, made out to a British police association, but London sent it back. Last month, trying to repair relations with the U.S., the Libyan leader sent President Bush an elaborate invitation to his gala opening of the Great Man-Made River project. No reply. Hint: try renouncing terrorism.
