...rescue force won't move inland to Bosnia until the peacekeepers have assembled at a handful of major points. "We don't want to send 90 of our guys out to rescue two or three peacekeepers," a NATO planner says. The allies most probably would employ a "leapfrogging" withdrawal strategy, in which highly mobile nato units would hop from peak to peak, guarding the withdrawal of the U.N. peacekeepers winding along roads in the valleys below. They will head west for Adriatic ports or east to Belgrade, assuming Serbia approves. While the allies want to bring tanks and other vehicles...
...during her extended family's annual June sojourn at the Delaware shore, Delia takes a walk down the beach and veers right toward their rented cottage, where she hitches a ride with the roof repairman.

Other countries' firms may provide tough competition in making computer hardware and software, but nobody matches the Americans at the fine art of tying computers together into networks that do everything from running automated factories to sending out medical...
...wide eyes equally express her character with their blank blue stare. Brooke Ashton is the company ingenue, who is as far from ingenious as the rest of the cast is from their script. Though Brooke is able to put aside her space cadet personality to become the perky Inland Revenue tax secretary of "Nothing On," she is too fragile to roll with the punches when the ride gets bumpy. Oblivious, she sticks to the script, blindly thwarting the others' efforts to ad lib in the face of disaster...
