...could be forgiven for casting a skeptical eye over 1999's other front-runners: U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan may be the world's preeminent peacemaker, but he was left flailing helplessly on the sidelines as the Kosovo conflict took shape and East Timor descended into anarchy. Similarly, U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke's previous efforts in the Balkans may have paled in light of the Kosovo war.

To compete with Milosevic's formidable propaganda machine, the U.S. Information Agency plans to ring Serbia's border with six radio transmitters that will beam Western news programs into the country 24 hours a day. Last month Robert Gelbard, U.S. special envoy to the Balkans, flew to Serbia's rebellious republic of Montenegro to meet with some 20 Serbian opposition leaders and plead with them to join forces against the regime...
