...Balkans had sapped him of the nervous energy that usually suffuses his ample frame. But if the sparks were not exactly flying off Holbrooke, the news he brought to Washington was electrifying enough. As a clutch of State Department officials peered over his shoulder, he unfolded a map of Bosnia atop Christopher's desk, took out a ball-point pen and drew a line running from the northern border town of Dvor south to Sanski Most, then snaking southwest to the city of Jajce...
...changing face of the battle for the heartland of Bosnia, which in recent weeks has seen the Bosnian Serbs driven back by the loosely coordinated armies of the country's Croat-Muslim federation capitalizing on NATO's bombing campaign. The results of that offensive--demarcated on Holbrooke's map--produced a strategic shift on the ground that, working with the grain of U.S. diplomacy, opened the most inviting window of opportunity for peace that Bosnia has seen in years. By the time the Bosnian Serbs had withdrawn most of their heavy guns from around Sarajevo last Wednesday night--thus meeting...
...remain to be solved. A significant step in that direction takes place this Tuesday when representatives from the so-called Contact Group--Germany, France, Russia, Britain and the U.S.--meet at the U.N. in New York City with the foreign ministers of Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia.

But alas, Prize Patrol history is not to be made. Hall turns out to be a great-grandmother of preternatural calm. Confronted by cameras, hysterical Patrol members...
According to a secret White House memorandum circulating in Washington last week, a copy of which was obtained by TIME, Holbrooke's plan includes a number of specific proposals. The No. 1 problem is the map, the division of which is predicated on the principle, established last July by the Contact Group, that Bosnia will technically remain one nation but will be internally divided, with 49% of the land going to the Bosnian Serbs and 51% going to the Croat-Muslim federation. While it now appears that all parties, including the Bosnian Serbs, have agreed to the proportions, Holbrooke said...
