...singer BONO spent New Year's Eve in Sarajevo. The self-proclaimed "first tourist" to the city danced one night away with Bosnian Foreign Minister Muhamed Sacirbey, then joined locals for an impromptu show the next. "I can't understand why more of our colleagues have not come," said Bono. Maybe the war had something to do with...
...Sarajevo's main boulevard, dubbed Sniper Alley during the war. NATO officials, who Monday pledged to use significant force if necessary to enforce Bosnia's peace, had no imediate response beyond condemning the incident. Although the Bosnian Serb news agency denied Serbs were to blame, Bosnian Foreign Minister Muhamed Sacirbey said the grenade attack was meant to intimidate President Clinton as he prepares for a visit this weekend to Bosnia.

The Bosnians have even hired Richard Perle, a top Reagan Administration official, to be in Dayton as a consultant...
...some were soon calling the conference "a boot camp run by Americans" and complaining that "life is really, really boring." But if the restrictions were deemed onerous, at least not everyone found the shag- rug-and-Formica decor so bad. "It's a bit like Motel 6," said Mohammed Sacirbey, Bosnia's Foreign Minister. "But I like Motel 6. 'Leave the light on.'" There were complaints about not being able to leave the base--although Milosevic was spotted Friday afternoon buying shoes in suburban Dayton, surrounded by a cocoon of Secret Service agents. "I've never seen so many trench...
