How the adventure turns out hangs precariously on the decisions of Milosevic. Will he buckle under or hunker down? Or will he lash out with his carefully hoarded missiles and planes to fracture the still fragile NATO alliance? The bombing would stop if he were to phone in his agreement to a truce and enforceable autonomy for Kosovo. If he doesn't, no one is quite clear about how this drama will...

Students in the audience at Northfield's St. Olaf College hooted, applauded and did the Wave to show their appreciation. "He wants to help people," said David Parker, a starstruck St. Olaf sophomore who plans to vote for Ventura. "He's like a father figure...
