Washington's political pundits were almost without exception wrong in their election forecasts; most expected Republicans to come through elections with tighter grip on Congress and, by implication, on Pres Clinton's fate; George Stephanopoulos, ABC commentator and former Clinton aid, says commentators consistently misread public feeling on issue of Monica Lewinsky and impeachment; pundits and former pundits attribute often startling degree of miscalculations to myopia of Washington insiders, and vested interest of journalists in the story; nevertheless, few pople in Washington expect business of punditry to be changed by the election; photo (M)

As the Administration once again considers using force against Iraq, President Clinton met for two hours with his senior national security aides at Camp David, Md., to discuss strategies for responding to Iraq's new defiance of the United Nations weapons inspections. A1 Dalai Lama Courts Support The Dalai Lama, courting support for a new initiative that he hopes will lead to talks with Chinese leaders, is expected to meet with Vice President Al Gore at the White House during his current visit to Washington.
