...there was any doubt that Slobodan Milosevic was at the heart of this transformation of terror, it ended last week when a U.N. war-crimes tribunal announced it had indicted him and his subordinates on four counts for Serbian actions in Kosovo.

At issue: When NATO stops its bombing; the nature of NATO involvement in the U.N.-authorized peacekeeping force for Kosovo; and the size of the Yugoslavian military presence allowed to remain in the province. One indicator of the progress of peace talks is Ahtisaari's schedule. He's indicated that he'll accompany Chernomyrdin...
