While some top Clinton administration officials (and even Hillary) may be pining for a photo op in the Balkan war zone, they will have to get their snapshots the hard way. When Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott flew in to the Macedonian capital of Skopje a few weeks ago in one of the Air Force's Lockheed C-130's, he got the ride of his life. The problem for potential future visitors: Talbott's plane was "painted," meaning that the Serbian military's antiaircraft system had got the plane in its target sight.

Water gushing from overhead sprinklers and strobe lights flashing; the clang of fire alarms hopelessly obscuring the screams and gunfire but not the explosions; reports crackling over their radios of not two gunmen but as many as six -- possibly hiding in the catwalks and ceilings of the Tuesday-afternoon war zone that was Columbine High...

Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, its chief architect, now advises "strategic patience." Republicans, enthused by polls that show growing discomfort with Clinton's leadership in foreign affairs, are hoping to draw blood from the Administration's evident lack of a Russia policy. An added incentive: Al Gore will be the Administration's point man in talks with Primakov...
