...forth on it." She adds, "We kept telling him, 'Make a gesture, make a gesture, and we'll see what happens. We can't guarantee anything, but maybe, just maybe something will happen.'" They also appealed to Milosevic's media savvy: a prisoner release, they said, would be a smart move, "since you're very deeply concerned about your image." Jackson reiterated NATO conditions for peace, and Milosevic argued the terms of those demands, pointing out the difference between an international "presence" and an international "force." After three hours, Jackson and Milosevic talked one-on-one for 20 minutes. Says...
...because she has always had it all. By the time she discovers her unborn child has Down syndrome, she's already in love with the baby, and she and her husband decide against the abortion everyone recommends.

By the time I left the common room, I was ready to consider re-opening the book on my views...
...deal was Microsoft's price for staying out of Comcast's corner. Plus, a $5 billion check -- especially with Bill Gates's name on it -- helps dispel investor fears that AT&T's headlong rush into cable is burying the company in debt. "AT&T has made a very smart move," says Baumohl. "They get a little cash, plus they've presumably locked up the software to go with their new hardware." After all, lots of young couples start out with big mortgages...
