...standoff continued throughout the week. Serbian troops promised again to allow the convoy to proceed but each time halted it. In a radio message to his Sarajevo headquarters, Morillon termed the situation "unbearable" and said "people are dying right in front of me." On Friday, his frustration boiled over. He drove to the border and demanded an end to the stalling. He accepted Serbian terms that he travel without his escort of two Canadian armored personnel carriers and headed back to Srebrenica in his command car -- followed this time by the trucks of the relief convoy...
EVEN ITS STAUNCHEST ALLY COULD NO LONGER SUPport Cambodia's most violent guerrilla faction. China's vote last Monday made unanimous a Security Council resolution to proceed with national elections in May -- even though the Khmer Rouge will field no candidates. The decision apparently eliminates any chance for the Maoist group to be included in a coalition government, though no one can predict what will happen after the 20,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force leaves.

Both countries, joined by the U.S., have demanded that Mobutu proceed immediately with a transition to democracy that he initiated in 1990 and has since halted...
...understand and respect Judge Wood's decision not to proceed further," Clinton said hours later. "I wish her well." Privately, White House officials said they didn't want to risk another failed confirmation hearing. They feared that the legal distinction between Wood's nanny situation and Baird's might be too subtle for the tabloids and radio talk shows. Wood, like Baird, had been a highly paid lawyer at the time she hired someone to help care for her child. "We could just see some Senator saying, 'Are you telling me that on $400,000 a year there...
