...military questions revolve around Milosevic's ability to survive without what NATO is now destroying. The Pentagon's plans to drain Yugoslavia of oil, for example, only make sense if Serbian forces need fuel to prevail and don't have much stockpiled. "We have destroyed all their big reserves and refineries, but they have a whole network of smaller storage reserves," a French official says. "We thought they'd only have petrol for a month, but now it turns out they have a capacity far greater than that." And the pulverizing attacks against Serbia's command-and-control network...
...loud, highlighting anything that sounds weird. Her brother calls them the Toxic Crusaders, and with good reason.

They've handed out containers in which oil can be recycled and given warnings about lead poisoning.

Lamb carpaccio, an unlikely but delicious variation on the more traditional beef, is herb-scented, sliced meltingly thin and drizzled with a light and nutty olive oil. An entree special of duck breast stuffed with figs and walnuts and topped with a fruity wine-reduction sauce manages to successfully navigated the tightrope between savory and overwhelmingly rich. Sauteed spinach counteracts the succulent sweetness of the meat, and the slightly viscous sauce lends itself perfectly to the thick slices...
