...both Serbs and ethnic Albanians. Commenting on the KLA?s monopolization of power, widely respected Kosovar Albanian newspaper editor Baton Haxhiu told the Times, "Each day it is becoming more dangerous to think and speak independently." Part of the problem is that the United Nations has been able to deploy only 156 of the 3,000 policemen promised by member states. President Clinton joins leaders of NATO countries and Balkan leaders for a summit on reconstruction to be held in Sarajevo, Bosnia, on Friday.

That question lies at the core of the dire declarations in the report that China has systematically stolen our vital security secrets, pilfering design information on every advanced thermonuclear warhead we deploy, on missile guidance, even on the never fielded neutron bomb, to acquire weapons knowledge "on a par" with the U.S. With "insatiable" appetite and "enormous" energy over decades, Beijing's agents mined valuable military information from every corner of the American military-industrial complex and haven't given up yet.

The alliance had originally planned a 28,000-strong force, but that was before the widespread destruction caused by the war. "It should be pretty easy to get NATO to move those forces into position for a peacekeeping mission premised on Milosevic's accepting their entry into Kosovo," says TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson. "And the alliance is unlikely at this stage to even debate the idea of sending them in without Milosevic's permission." So despite talk...
