Last week CIA and Defense Department experts analyzed new reconnaissance photos from satellites and spy planes and concluded that the Bosnian Serbs control only about 55% of the country, while the Muslims and Croats have 45%. As the Bosnian government offensive continues, the actual holdings may come very close to what has been agreed upon. The major outstanding territorial issues could be reduced to Sarajevo, eastern Slovenia and Gorazde...
With a cease-fire in prospect for the whole country, the allies have begun to rethink how many troops will be needed to police an actual peace agreement. Last week Defense Secretary Perry scaled back previous Pentagon estimates. He said the so-called NATO Implementation Force may need only 50,000 rather than 70,000 on the ground, of whom 15,000, not 25,000, would be American. French Defense Minister Millon is to arrive in Washington this week to begin talks on how to provide political direction to the soldiers of the NATO peacekeeping force. France is leaning toward...

But even as the selections were made and the institution's first all-star jam held, the hall had no actual residence. In May 1986 the Hall of Fame board, after considering such sites as New York City and Memphis, Tennessee, decided to locate in Cleveland. Ostensibly, the city was selected because it's the place where local deejay Alan Freed popularized the term rock 'n' roll in the early 1950s...
