"There is no doubt that the agreements are worthless without the American troops," says TIME's James Graff in Dayton. "Clinton has his work...
Secretary of State Warren Christopher was unable to push the sides in the Bosnian conflict to an agreement at a crucial stage in the two-week-old negotiations. Christopher had traveled to Dayton Tuesday morning hoping to force resolution on crucial questions of territorial control in the former Yugolavia, particularly concerning Sarajevo.

The country singer performed Saturday night at Wright State University...
Meeting at the heavily guarded Wright-Patterson Air Force Base outside Dayton, Ohio, the leaders of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia made limited progress on plans for ending the 42-month-old war in Bosnia. Secretary of State Warren Christopher said the U.S. expects Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic to be ousted from power shortly; the two have been indicted by an international tribunal as war criminals...
