...rights to the murder expire. Of course, a trial that was based on defendant Loyd Jowers' six-year-old claim to a TV reporter that he paid someone (not James Earl Ray) to kill King is a little suspect, especially since he didn't testify at his trial and may have simply been plugging a planned book on the assassination...
...apparently endless string of sequels. Last December's bombs - and eight years of sanctions - have failed to dislodge him, and Washington has now been forced to accept that the reservations expressed by its European and Arab allies over bombing - and the resultant removal of United Nations weapons monitors - may have been correct. So with the U.N. Security Council meeting Friday or Saturday to adopt a resolution easing some sanctions against Iraq in exchange for Baghdad's accepting a new monitoring system, Defense Secretary William Cohen has been drumming up domestic support for a shift by insisting that...
...European approach, emphasizing the need to have monitors in there." The danger now, though, is that UNSCOM (the United Nations Special Commission) gets replaced with a tamer and less confrontational monitoring body.

"Milosevic was clearly trying to test the West's commitment to defend Montenegro," says TIME Central Europe...
...just been granted $300 million in reconstruction aid by China, Milosevic doesn't look like he's about to leave the scene. "So the question isn't whether there'll be a confrontation, but when it will happen," says Anastasijevic. "But rather than simply send in his army, Milosevic may choose instead to arm and organize the mostly pro-Serbian Montenegrins in the north of the country to fight the independence-minded government in the south. That will leave NATO facing the uncomfortable prospect of getting involved in a tribal war." And, of course, a U.S. election year may...
