...professional, and when you're talkingabout that kind of money, it's important." Feeneysaid, "Not that the U.C. is anything but thehighest in professional [ism], but we just wantedto be safe," he added with a chuckle...
...fire, defying the West's wavering attempts to contain it. On Friday, July 21, the NATO allies announced a bold new plan to deter Serb aggression. In the days that followed this call to arms, Ratko Mladic, the commander of the rebel Bosnian Serbs, seized and "ethnically cleansed" one "safe area," Zepa, and intensified a brutal assault on another, Bihac. Meanwhile, an eventuality that the U.N. and NATO had dearly hoped to prevent--a widening of the Balkan war--seemed by Friday to have occurred, as Croatia joined the fighting. Not a very good record for any week, much less...
After Zepa fell, Mladic increased his merciless pressure on Bihac, an isolated U.N. safe area in the northwest. Coordinating efforts with Serb rebels from neighboring Croatia and antigovernment Muslim irregulars, he attacked the so-called Bihac pocket, a cluster of towns and villages that shelters more than 160,000 people, mostly Muslims.

If the Serbs still pushed on, allied fighter-bombers would range farther, taking out ammunition and fuel dumps and Serb supply lines. "Such operations," NATO Secretary-General Willy...
...your report on pork-barrel deals [CONGRESS, July 17], you ran a photograph showing large cone-shaped structures with white plumes pouring from the top. The casual reader may believe the plumes are smoke, noxious chemicals or radioactive by-products of nuclear power. In fact, the structures are environmentally safe cooling towers, not nuclear reactors. They cool water and produce a relatively harmless plume at the exhaust when the ambient air is colder and denser than the mist released by the evaporative process. RON WRIGHT, Project Manager Ceramic Cooling Tower Co. Fort Worth, Texas...
