...Later in the day, Bush presented a posthumous congressional gold medal to John Cardinal O?Connor.

Even the start of the trial remains months away: Milosevic's lawyers will likely file a raft of procedural appeals to delay the hearings. The three judges who will hear the case - Richard May of Britain, Patrick Robinson of Jamaica and Mohamed Al-Habib Fassi Fihri of Morocco - will make the ultimate determination of Milosevic's guilt; but the tribunal's brand of painstaking jurisprudence means that his fate may not be settled for years.
