Albright had been working almost daily with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov on this issue since January, when she flew to Moscow to tell him--during an intermission of La Traviata at the Bolshoi Theater--that NATO was issuing a bombing threat. Four weeks ago, they met in a bare, beige room at the Oslo airport, where Ivanov plucked a silk flower from the table arrangement to give her. He also pulled from his breast pocket a paper with 10 "principles" for a solution. Albright noticed some coincided with NATO's. She proposed that they get out pencils and mark...

While some top Clinton administration officials (and even Hillary) may be pining for a photo op in the Balkan war zone, they will have to get their snapshots the hard way.

The Pentagon, which now relies heavily on Aviano for NATO's Kosovo campaign, has since redoubled its efforts to ensure that safety guidelines for pilots in Italy are made clear...
...army of workaholics helped create three new computer-generated worlds, 1,200 costumes, 65 standing sets, 140 new beasties. To research Podrace vehicles, they went to the world's largest jet junkyard, outside Phoenix, and scavenged for 747 engines. They thought big (a Russian military-transport plane flew the Podracers to the Tunisian location) and cheap (a women's electric shaver serves as a Jedi comlink; the waterfalls in Naboo are...salt...
