When U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher stood and urged the Balkan leaders to shake hands, they did so in the most perfunctory manner imaginable: Croatia's Franjo Tudjman would not look Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic in the eye; Bosnia's Alija Izetbegovic refused to smile at Tudjman; Milosevic and Izetbegovic stared past each other.

"They took Rabin out on a stretcher," said one eye-witness. "He was lying on his side with a bloodstain on his chest and abdomen. His eyes were closed."
