...dream. In it they see Lee Teng-hui, Taiwan's assertive chief executive, being re-elected next month in the first direct presidential balloting in the history of China. They see Lee, flashing his broad grin, standing in the well of the U.S. House of Representatives, addressing a joint meeting of Congress. And they see him moving on to other world capitals to take a bow as the head of a distinct, democratic and economically powerful state on Chinese soil...
...ARMS AND TRAINING FOR THE Bosnian Muslims [WORLD, Jan. 15] increase the likelihood that war will resume once NATO troops depart. The nominally federated Muslims and Croats of Bosnia may be tempted to resolve their seemingly irreconcilable differences at the expense of the Bosnian Serbs. The spoils from a joint military campaign to expel the Bosnian Serb nation would be allocated mainly to a Muslim entity, which would then accept its lot as a satellite of Greater Croatia. There is a precedent for what amounts to "benign ethnic cleansing." Croatia, with Washington's blessing, invaded the U.N.-protected Krajina region...

Clinton's speech was so Republican in form...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The death of Sgt. Donald Dugan in Bosnia on Saturday, the first American casualty in Operation Joint Endeavor, brought quick condemnations of the U.S. mission from some conservative Republicans, but failed to produce the "outrage" predicted by Rep. Gerald Solomon, chairman of the House Rules Committee. While Senator Phil Gramm, a presidential hopeful, vowed to bring the American troops home in his first act as President, Republican leaders Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole both declined to revisit the question of American presence in Bosnia. "We can't cut and run when the first tragic thing happens," said Dole...
