...Muslim-Croat federation. The Bosnian state encompassing these two parts will have a central government, a presidency and a parliament. The government will be elected by voters throughout the bifurcated state, under international election supervision. No indicted war criminals may hold office. The city of Sarajevo, the besieged Bosnian capitol that became a symbol of the horror and courage, remains unified under Bosnian control. Refugees will return home. The potentially traumatic process of repatriating those refugees was not clearly spelled out this morning, though President Clinton did say that an independent commission will monitor the human rights of all Bosnians...

It is a travesty that the credit due Farrakhan for delivering these black men to the steps of the Capitol in peace, in spirit, in love was rhetorically taxed by the media and politicians. White America should be so lucky as to have a leader who could bring a million of its men together to atone for their transgressions. ROBERT CORSINI Los Angeles
