"But as long as the opposition is divided ? and the lack of unity was depressingly evident at the rally ? it will never be able to unseat Milosevic."

Only after we're planted in our seats, eyes...
...special challenge facing a long-shot aspirant, from the banal (travel efficiency) to the sublime (on Aug. 24, supporters are asked to fast "to seek God?s will for Gary"). Calling for "Kingdom Impact Across Our Land," prayer partners are to ask that "the campaign team will lack gossip and false testimony.
