...separate the combatants and get the new country up and running, NATO plans to send in an Implementation Force, called I-FOR, of some 60,000 troops, 20,000 of them American. They will separate the federation's forces from the rebel Serb army, supervise their return to barracks and patrol demilitarized zones on both sides of the cease-fire lines. The I-FOR commanders will be the judges of what action they must take in any situation, and while the military annex to the agreement does not say so, the force will function much like an army of occupation...
...world's peacekeepers will remain on duty for only a year, American officials say. But the long-term threat to Bosnia's future will go beyond skirmishes with rebel Serbs and perhaps take firm shape only when the year is up. Even if elections are carried out as prescribed, the central government may never become a functioning administration that can earn citizens' loyalty. Under the agreement, both entities in the new state are permitted to establish parallel links with neighboring countries. That means the Serbs with Serbia and the Croats with Croatia.

Territory. The thorniest issue of all--and an area where remarkable progress has been made. The first break came when Tudjman and Milosevic agreed that control over Eastern Slavonia, the sliver of Croatia ruled by rebel Serbs since 1991, would revert to Zagreb's control in a year or, under certain conditions, two.

Each zone can have its own official language, its own education...

He warned Tudjman not to undercut Bosnia's Croat-Muslim federation and told him point-blank to knock off the brinkmanship over eastern Slavonia, the hotly contested sliver of Croatia still controlled by rebel Serbs. The Secretary instructed Izetbegovic to keep his distance from the media and told Milosevic that his failure to do anything about ongoing atrocities by his proxies, the Bosnian Serbs, was unacceptable...
...Evangelical authors dramatize the force of the movement as well as Francine Rivers, who left behind a successful romance-novel career when she was born again in 1986. She owns the rights to her 10 bodice bursters (like A Rebel in His Arms) and won't allow them to be printed again. Instead she writes religious historical romances, which enjoy steady sales of upwards of 80,000 copies. The latest is As Sure as the Dawn (Tyndale; 485 pages; $11.99), part of a series set in that reliable cauldron of vice, the Roman Empire. "Before, love stories were strictly between...
