...problem is that Albright's plan for Kosovo calls for putting NATO ground troops onto Yugoslav territory, something President Slobodan Milosevic says violates his sovereignty; it would be, he says, as if he had suggested putting NATO troops into Northern Ireland to control unrest there. NATO says the ethnic violence in Kosovo demands a strong international response. For Albright and her team, the stalled talks have meant preparing a two-track approach that will involve bombing if Milosevic refuses to negotiate and ground troops if he agrees to a last-minute concession...
...industry for 30 years. Once unthinkable, the idea that foreigners might "save" Japanese companies is becoming commonplace. Witness Merrill Lynch and its absorption of Yamaichi Securities, or General Electric Capital Corp. and its $6.5 billion takeover of one of Japan's biggest leasing companies.

"This is something I probably have to get used to--lies culminating in something much more hysterical and out of hand," he says...
Anderson says the heavy-handed tactics police employ to control the violence only make things worse, because they convince the vast majority of law-abiding inner-city residents that cops are the enemy. Unfortunately, too many people--and too many politicians, such as New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani--have not made the connection. As Hugh Price of the National Urban League puts it, even poor people have "a right to be protected by the police, not be preyed on by them." Until the cops figure that out, it will be open season on black...
