That is thanks largely to four outsiders: Javier Perez de Cuellar, the former U.N. Secretary-General, who laid the ground for the intervention last fall; his successor, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who engineered the Security Council's decision two weeks ago to dispatch the troops; Lord Carrington, the chief envoy in the European Community's effort to broker an overall political settlement among the pieces of the shattered Yugoslav federation; and Cyrus Vance, who has labored for five months...
