PARIS: At least they're eating together. With barely a week to go before NATO's Kosovo talks deadline, the Serb and ethnic Albanian delegations have yet to negotiate face-to-face. Diplomats scurry back and forth between the two sides, although they're all in the same room for buffet-style meals, reports TIME correspondent Bruce Crumley. "The challenge is to create an agreement that both sides can present differently," says Crumley.

...vicious killers simply because he was gay might have been enough to prompt the state legislature in Wyoming to enact hate-crimes legislation. In the wake of the killing, in the wake of the national outcry that followed, it seemed like the obvious fact--that violence motivated by racial, ethnic or sexual bias warrants extra punishment--was on the verge of acceptance...

Washington believes he "understands" the language of force and will cave...
...coming of a new dominant conservative coalition oriented to the South and Southwest. But over the years Phillips has pioneered a kind of complexity theory of political trends. He has trained his eye as a multidimensional optic that builds its big picture from the sort of clues (cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, economic, sectional and local) that any competent state party chairman knows more or less by instinct, but that scholars or political journalists may be too impatient--or too grandly focused--to grasp...
