This war has burned nearly everyone it touched. Washington's uneasy relations with China and Russia have been poisoned. Beijing will take a long while to get over the insult of errant bombs dropping on its Belgrade embassy, and lingering resentment could hamper the peace plan as it moves into the U.N. Security Council. Washington feels heartened that it managed to draw an angry Russia back to NATO's side. Moscow, says a senior French official, "made a difficult and courageous choice" in choosing pragmatic cooperation with the West over emotional solidarity with Serbia. Though Chernomyrdin is reviled at home...
...which buys you 50 kilobytes, or 150 Palm-screen pages of text. I ran through that in a day. And at the end of two weeks, after consciously limiting consumption, I had used 138 kilobytes--$35.20 more than the basic charge. Even the $24.99-for-150-kilobyte, big-user plan would be inadequate for me.

Joseph Thompson, Krens' successor, was left holding the baby. He has proved a shrewd parent. Thompson and a local architectural firm, Bruner/Cott & Associates, scaled back the original...
...Gore about the peace initiative of Russia's Viktor Chernomyrdin and Finland's Martti Ahtisaari. As the Vice President campaigned in New Hampshire, the topic of the day was to have been health care for the elderly, but at every stop Gore met questions about the peace plan that had just been accepted by the Yugoslav parliament. Gore maintained a cautious face publicly, warning that it was premature to claim victory. Still, several times in private he dashed to a secure phone line to get the latest, increasingly optimistic assessments from his national security adviser, Leon Fuerth. As Oliver North...
...Chernomyrdin came as Russia's Balkan envoy to Gore's Victorian mansion in Washington to discuss the situation in Yugoslavia. Sitting down at the Vice President's dining-room table, they could not have known they were putting into motion the strategy that would ultimately produce a peace plan for Kosovo...
