...backers and old Reaganites and factions that usually try to have nothing to do with one another. Bush refused to rank them, stack the chairmen atop the vice chairmen; instead he made them all "pioneers," committed to raising $100,000 each for his campaign. "He did to California what Tito did to Yugoslavia," said Wayne Berman, a top G.O.P. fund raiser in Washington. "He pulled all the factions together and said it is better to live together than die alone...
...cultural wave Martin is riding--Latin pop--we must admit, is also not an entirely new phenomenon. Salsa, rumba, mambo and other Latin musical forms have made inroads on American pop music--Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Gloria Estefan, Ritchie Valens, Los Lobos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Machito, Willie Colon, Tito Puente and many, many others have, for decades now, scored hits, excited crowds and pioneered new sounds.

Our fight with Serbia has dangerously alienated Russians, she noted, and it would be useful to allow them to be the ones to help solve...
...destroyed, two oil refineries eliminated, 25% of stored fuel wiped out, all four vital rail and road links to Kosovo damaged. Never mind that 3 of every 4 bombs were falling on big, empty, static targets already hit. Alliance spokesmen were sure that new strikes on Milosevic's Tito-era villa, on the broadcast studios of state-owned Serbian TV, and on the 23-story tower housing his Socialist Party of Serbia and his daughter's radio and TV stations were going to undermine Milosevic's domestic support. "We are winning," NATO commander General Wesley Clark told the summiteers...
