...around Tetovo, are still actively using those weapons and it's hard to imagine they'll be ready to hand them over in the next couple of days or weeks when they're still being fired on a daily basis. No matter for NATO, of course, because its spokesmen insist that the alliance's mission is not to disarm anyone, but simply to collect weapons voluntarily handed over. (Indeed, it must be deeply reassuring to all peace-loving Macedonians that the Western military alliance has vowed to simply pack up and go home if the fighting resumes...
...Many of the rank-and-file guerrillas and regional commanders openly express their enthusiasm for a "Greater Albania" - the mirror image of Slobodan Milosevic's "Greater Serbia" campaign, which spawned separatist military campaigns among the Serb minorities of Serbia's neighboring states. But their leaders insist they got most of what they wanted out of the Skopje political agreement, and the time has come to put down their weapons. And those leaders have plenty of reasons to crow about the outcome. Three months ago, NATO leaders were still denouncing the NLA as "terrorists" and "murderers in the hills"; now fresh...
...believe the rumors, say other GOP operatives. Yes, Thompson, who has only $544,000 in his campaign bank, hasn't yet announced whether he'll seek reelection.

To placate scientists who argue that Bush did not go far enough, he promised "aggressive federal funding of research on umbilical-cord, placenta, adult and animal...
Here, too, the Administration is sanguine, pointing out that the wide range of countries from which the available cell lines hail--including India, Israel, Singapore and Australia--helps ensure that they will be as diverse as possible. Some researchers even insist that the precise number of cell lines isn't important at all because none of them will actually wind up in the body. At this early stage, investigators aren't so much developing cures as creating research and manufacturing techniques. For that, the specific cell lines aren't important. "This will enable the biomedical community to iron...
