Apparently, just minutes before, the tugboat MV Mauvilla had had an encounter with the same bridge. Pushing a tow of six barges strapped together, the ship had taken a wrong turn on the Mobile river and strayed into the bayou. In the fog and darkness, however, the barges became unlashed and began drifting. According to expert speculation last week, they may have hit the bridge, which was too low to let them pass. Someone on the tugboat radioed the Coast Guard for help. By then, however, the Sunset Limited roared into sight -- and plunged straight into disaster. The bridge gave...

To counter the Serbs' 105-mm artillery pieces and T-72 tanks, the Muslims could use Western-made counterartillery radar, which Washington would have to ( supply directly or through allies. The Pentagon would want to ship TOW antitank weapons and light armored vehicles -- fast, mobile carriers useful for keeping forces together -- as well. One nonlethal item of great utility would be tactical radios to improve Muslim command and communications. Since the U.S. is reluctant to get involved on the ground, it might turn to Turkey, which already...
