...faint hope that NATO could negotiate a quick way out still beat in some hearts. Clinton "supposed" something useful might come of former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin's efforts, but once the terms of Milosevic's summit-eve offer to contemplate some international peacekeeping force emerged, they were no more acceptable than his previous overtures. The allies would still love to have Moscow mediate a settlement as a way to bring it back into partnership with the West...
...black. Many Serbs believe that NATO has lost dozens of warplanes so far, not just one. Even the horrors of Kosovo are explained away. Whether by word of mouth or the Western media, much of Yugoslavia knows something of the "ethnic cleansing" going on in the province.

"What started two weeks ago started too fast and was too extreme," says Jeffrey Warantz, strategist at Salomon Smith Barney. "But it's not over." Warantz's research shows that it isn't just tech stocks or large consumer stocks like Merck and Wal-Mart that are rising now. Several weeks ago, 81% of the stocks that he tracks...
