...task of stopping the killing fell to Holbrooke, the architect of the Dayton peace accord. Holbrooke, the Administration's point man on the Balkans since 1992, is currently the ambassador-designate to the U.N., with his nomination in the hands of the U.S. Senate.

Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, its chief architect, now advises "strategic patience." Republicans, enthused by polls that show growing discomfort with Clinton's leadership in foreign affairs, are hoping to draw blood from the Administration's evident lack of a Russia policy.
