Broadcasting during a full moon, Art Bell conducts an open-lines program that seems to intensify the emotional and philosophical nature of caller discussions. The show covers President Clinton's controversial veto of the balanced budget bill and his rising approval ratings despite the ongoing Bosnia deployment debate. Callers express concerns about reports that Clinton may be opening the door to extending the Bosnia mission beyond one year, contradicting previous assurances of limited commitment. The conversation includes analysis of NBC's investigation into America's volunteer military and the challenges of maintaining combat readiness while deploying forces worldwide for peacekeeping missions. Art addresses the psychological pressures affecting political leaders like Newt Gingrich and the mood swings that seem to characterize decision-making in Washington. The program touches on the late-term abortion debate in the Senate and constitutional questions surrounding emergency medical procedures versus legislative restrictions. Throughout the show, the full moon's influence appears to encourage more intense and philosophical discussions among callers about leadership, morality, and America's role in global affairs. This episode demonstrates how celestial cycles may affect human behavior and the depth of late-night radio conversations during periods of political uncertainty.
