Sadly, the creation of that state, by the means Warren Christopher so excoriated, appears to be the only strategy currently effective in Bosnia. The Vance-Owen plan, the sole overreaching policy the international community has proffered, is an ineluctable shambles. Lord Owen himself, co-purveyor of that % scheme, which proposes to divide Bosnia into 10 provinces drawn along ethnic lines, acknowledged last week that bombing Serb supply lines may be necessary after all. "If they are hell-bent on taking other towns, then we will have to meet this assault on Muslim towns with military action," he said...

But the peculiarly petrified gum that Topps churned out probably didn't do wonders for profits...
...specific accusations published last week have been peddled for more than a year by a disgruntled former state employee Clinton had fired. The purveyor has zero evidence, and Clinton and the women allegedly involved all deny it. But the stories were published in the Star, a supermarket tabloid, picked up by the two New York papers, and thus became fair game for everyone else...
