Perhaps "the threat or use of force," as the old formula goes, would not bring Bosnia's Serbs to heel. But proposing military targets for air strikes in the Serbian heartland might make Milosevic think twice, give his many Serbian political opponents a more persuasive voice and ease the heat on slowly strangling Bosnia. At the least, it would send a message about where the West stands. At bottom, this may not be a universal U.N. concern, but it is a European crisis and, more to the point, a Western responsibility. As such, it is also a job that will...
After a two-day general strike by millions of black workers last week, the A.N.C. and its allies in the trade unions and the Communist Party turned up the heat with marches in several cities. Most dramatic was the peaceful turnout in Pretoria, the heart of Afrikanerdom and the administrative capital of the country, where 70,000 marchers drew up in the park below President F.W. de Klerk's office and chanted, "De Klerk must go!" Said A.N.C. secretary- general Cyril Ramaphosa: "Next time, Mr. De Klerk, we are going to be inside...
...team ever sent from the Land of the Thunder Dragon -- as they stepped out of their landlocked Himalayan kingdom and into the flashbulb glare of Barcelona's Olympics. Anxiously consulting an astrologer before they left, Bhutan's Olympians -- all archers -- had never boarded a plane before, or experienced summer heat. The Olympic Village was almost the size of their capital, Thimbu. And the biggest shock of all, said Namgyal Lhamu, was "the sea," which she, like the others, had only read about at home. "I thought Barcelona was going to be peaceful, like Thimbu," added a cheerful Pem Tshering...
...another room was the top-secret Bomb Alarm, a system of sensors and copper wires that crisscrossed the country and reacted to overpressure, heat and brilliance. On a huge U.S. map dotted with hundreds of tiny light bulbs, a red light would go on to mark the site of a nuclear explosion. Atop the mountain a series of remotely operated cameras and radiation sensors monitored the area. A nearby nuclear hit would vaporize those devices, but the site was equipped with backup radiation sensors that could be pushed out of the mountain. There were also human "probers" from among...
...with U.S. Jews and with Yitzhak Shamir, the intransigent Israeli Prime Minister whose life's mission was retaining the occupied territories. As Bush and Baker fought and beat the Israeli lobby in Washington, they were reviled for encouraging anti-Semitism and were called anti-Semites themselves. They took the heat and prevailed. Today Israel's new government is scaling back the West Bank settlements, the peace negotiations may finally yield autonomy for the Palestinians Jerusalem rules, and the $10 billion in loan guarantees to help resettle Soviet Jews will probably be approved when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin meets with Bush...
