...There is a lot of talk about destroying things in Japan these days. The ldp. The bureaucracy. The outdated banking system. So Tanaka's experience in Nagano is an instructive parable for the rest of Japan, and in particular, for rebel Prime Minister Koizumi. Can Tanaka show the way in Nagano? Or will he prove to be a flash in the pan, a trifling, inconsequential political buffoon? Sure, he is clever enough to feed the public what it wants to hear. In Nagano, they'd had their fill of pricey public-works projects, so they applauded Tanaka's decision...
...SERBIA Border Clashes Fighting flared in the troubled Presevo Valley as Yugoslav security forces clashed with ethnic Albanian rebels near the border with Kosovo. Government soldiers killed 14 insurgents while storming a rebel stronghold in the village of Oraovica, and a Serbian police officer was killed in a separate incident near Presevo. Near Kosovo's eastern border, the Macedonian government extended the deadline for ethnic Albanian separatists to surrender or face a major offensive. Thousands of civilians were reported to be leaving the area to avoid being caught in the crossfire...

If it is a considerable achievement to rebel against the prevailing standard, surely it is a greater one to create that standard. Bing didn't break the mold; he made...
...although they're part of the new government, these parties favor a political dialogue with the rebels. But that's not the government's position. So there is still a question mark over whether the unity of the new government will hold. A lot depends on whether the government forces can mount a successful operation against rebel strongholds in the mountains. If it turns out to be a mess - either because of civilian casualties or because of substantial losses by the Macedonian security forces - the government may not survive. But the government's credibility is also threatened if it hesitates...
