...assembling a ground force that could go into Kosovo even without agreement from Milosevic. Long after the threat might have spooked the Serbian leader, Clinton for the first time last week reserved the right to send in ground troops. Two days later, NATO Commander Clark visited the Pentagon to push for deployment of the 50,000 ground troops, trying to make sure they'd be there before the snow flies. But Italy and Greece called for a bombing pause before addressing the ground-troops issue...

Every time there is disagreement, the integration process for that group is halted until a solution is found. Progress is tracked in the "war room," a nondescript office down a dark second-floor corridor in Daimler's imposing brown headquarters in Stuttgart...
Like the other Personal Time pages, Your Family will be updated right through Saturday to include the freshest topics on readers' minds and in their dinner-table conversations. "The big push here at TIME these days is to report on news and issues that affect our families, from how to make our kids better students to what to do to help our aging parents," says Walter Isaacson, TIME's managing editor. "Big Government has become less relevant to our lives. What we do as citizens to build better families, schools and communities has become more important--and interesting...
