...that's been done until now: two old army trucks and a small hideout near Gorazde, a museum-quality half-track from World War II and, finally, a T- 55 tank. Three bombs, near Gorazde, didn't even explode. Before that, Karadzic's soldiers had shot down a Sea Harrier, also near Gorazde. While we aren't great tactical mathematicians here in Sarajevo, this seemed like a big price to pay for such little return...
...used in True Lies is less noticeable than the hardware. Says Cameron: "There's nothing that gets the back of your mind screaming, 'That's impossible!' It's revolutionary technology in the service of a photorealistic end product." That translates into seamless digital imagery and nifty stunts. When a Harrier jet isn't flying around Miami, a villain is negotiating a breathless motorcycle leap from a hotel rooftop into an elevated swimming pool across the street. Things go boom in the night. Jamie Lee performs a striptease. Arnold hurts people. There's something for everybody...
...Commander Michael Rose calls in air strikes around Gorazde, but the U.N.'s chief civilian representative in Bosnia, Yasushi Akashi, preferring negotiation, vetoes them.

The pilot parachuted to safety in a Bosnian village, but the episode only escalated the tensions. Would NATO step up air strikes? Would the Serbs make good on their vow to take the city by dusk...
...once designated a "safe area" by the U.N., was close to collapse after heavy attack from Bosnian Serb forces when U.N. officials announced that a cease-fire was likely that would leave the Serbs with most of the land seized in their recent offensive. On Saturday a British Sea Harrier jet, flying under nato command, was shot down as it searched for a Serb target. Earlier in the week, U.S. aircraft bombed Serb positions and imposed a momentary quiet on the area. By the weekend, however, Serb forces were reportedly two miles from Gorazde's center...
