While Nelson's sense of mission is clear today, it was not always that way. As a child in Lorraine County, Ohio, he was popular and fun loving, more inclined to hit the party scene than the books. While studying engineering at Ohio State University, he was drafted into the Army. Already a husband and father by then, he had to work two additional jobs to support his family. It was only when a white senior commander suggested Nelson attend the Infantry Officers' Candidate School in Fort Benning, Georgia, that Nelson began thinking about a military career. In the years...

Having months ago pandered to his party's right flank by returning a contribution from a gay Republican group, Dole astonished both friends and foes Tuesday by announcing to Ohio reporters that he was going to accept the contribution after all.

TIME's Bruce Van Voorst says that Milosevic is likely to reject both demands, and that the vote may simply be part of the Serb negotiating strategy: "It's not clear how much clout Milosevic has with the Bosnian Serbs. But it could be that Milosevic asked for this...
