Ivanov took a piece of paper and sketched out the possible composition of a security arrangement, using circles to represent the role various forces would play. Albright used her pen to show how NATO had to be involved, but Ivanov didn't agree. "This isn't for the two of us to do," she finally said.

...target. Many Serbs are now living by candlelight, eating food that doesn't require refrigeration and sleeping--if they can sleep at all--with the uneasy knowledge that 0.07% of NATO's bombs do go astray. Not surprisingly, as the allied target list grew, Serbian cockiness--like the paper targets once boisterously pinned to Serbs' shirts--seemed to crumble amid the rubble...
...long-term holdings. But if you must lighten up on tech to broaden your portfolio, do it.

First-year student Joey Wat considered several schools before finally settling on Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, where women make up 32% of the student body. "Kellogg is famous for its teamwork culture," says Wat, who was working in management consulting in Hong Kong. "That appealed to me a great deal...
