...country. Lifting of sanctions that had crippled his county had been a crucial issue for Milosevic, who in effect promised to deliver the Bosnian Serbs in return for a lifting of sanctions. Key to his decision, Clinton said, were assurances that the U.S. would be able to monitor Serb compliance with the Dayton accords: "Before agreeing to sanctions suspension," Clinton said, "we insisted on a credible reimposition mechanism to ensure no backsliding on the commitments made by the Serbs." Clinton made it clear that his military commanders in Bosnia would advise him if that backsliding occurs. Ensuring compliance should...
Another major problem along the same lines is that the bill targets not only those who originate indecent material but those who carry it, however unsuspectingly. Thus, all the commercial on-line service as well as universities and businesses would be require to monitor the information passing over their lines and stored on their computers, and would be responsible if anything "indecent" found its way into the hands of a minor.

Let's see if the Movie Morals Monitor goes after a PG film that really deserves a righteous swat...
However, the minor characters, when the caricatures are supposed to be two-dimensional, provide needed entertainment. Sarah Hurwitz is an excellent pesky hall monitor, and Ethan Russel does a good job as El Roy, a stereotypical Hispanic delinquent. Both Edward Hale and Matt McHale slide by with his humorous facial gestures as a police officer and Shlah's, the immigrant janitor, respectively. Of course, by the end of the play, Shlah's single joke grows tiresome...
