...witness stand in the Hague. One of 177 witnesses whom prosecutors plan to call in the newest phase of Milosevic's war-crimes trial - dealing with "ethnic cleansing" in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina - he is due to testify on Oct. 1. The accusations against Bobetko stem from a nine-day Croatian military operation in rural Krajina's "Medak pocket." From Sept. 9 to 17, 1993, according to the indictment, Croatian forces attacked and plundered Serb villages, unlawfully killing at least 100 Serbs while others were shot, stabbed, mutilated and otherwise inhumanely treated. As the army's most senior commander, Bobetko...
...White House officials insist that the apparent oscillation in the President's Middle East policy is one of bad phrasemaking and worse luck. Ever since Powell returned from his nine-day mission to the region, Bush has been unable, as an adviser puts it, "to get back to the speech," the elegant Rose Garden statement he made on April 4. In that address Bush for the first time lined up all the carrots and sticks to wheedle and whack both Israelis and Palestinians to the bargaining table.

When Cheney was host at a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu - the former Israeli Prime Minister who hopes to succeed Sharon by outflanking him on the right - on the same day that Powell was in Jerusalem trying to get Sharon to knuckle under, the Secretary...
...mean to trivialize the U.S.-China spyplane standoff. I know that there was more to this kafuffle than China’s uncharacteristically humane treatment of the 24-member crew of the damaged jet. In addition to submitting our men and women to a nine-day “ordeal,” they also kept our plane...
...that Friday, at 10 a.m., the timing will become even more precise. The starter gun's first bark will launch Jones on a nine-day offensive at the Olympic Stadium in Homebush Bay. Her schedule will be excruciatingly divided and subdivided, etched ultimately by split thousandths of a second. She'll try to win five gold medals, negotiating an intricate shoal of qualifying heats, medal races, meals, catnaps, jumps and baton passes. Five golds in one Olympics has not been done by a track athlete since the Flying Finn, Paavo Nurmi, blew through Paris in 1924. Weeks before the opening...
