...plans to keep its troops there after peacekeepers arrive, even though the army's top commanders acknowledge that they've lost control of rogue elements in their ranks. Presumably those elements aren't going to turn into Boy Scouts when a battalion of Australian troops comes marching down the road. So this particular "peacekeeping" operation may end up looking more like a counterinsurgency campaign. Joining the Aussies will be British Gurkhas and troops from Malaysia, New Zealand, France, Thailand, the Philippines and Canada. The U.S. is expected to provide a small contingent in logistical rather than combat roles. But first...
...back, baby. On the road to Super Bowl 2000, TIME Daily's famed pigskin prognosticators welcome some fresh (and ? gasp! ? female) gray matter to its two-man brain trust with the addition of "Mean" Josie Greene. She's new to the staff and ready to gauge the '99 gridiron alongside her Adam's-appled colleagues. Defending champ L.I. Slim is definitely feeling the pressure.

The movie was shot over 20 days in New York using mostly borrowed equipment. Sokolow and Lobl, who paid for the film to be recorded onto vhs cassettes, need to make $100,000 just to pay back investors. "I cannot impress upon you," says Sokolow, "how poor...
...reputation. It's like watching NASCAR for the wrecks, not the finish. Last week Holbrooke jetted into Kosovo to try to jump-start a U.N. relief effort in danger of deteriorating. "The future of the United Nations is being tested here," Holbrooke said as he bounced along the road to Cikatovo, a Kosovar village where Serbian forces executed at least 100 ethnic Albanians and pushed their bodies over a cliff. "We have to remember why we're here," Holbrooke said as he looked at the gravesite...
