...fact, indicting Milosevic is not included in the aims of NATO's Kosovo campaign, which is focused on Serb withdrawal and the safe return of refugees under protection of an international security force. Without a ground invasion of Yugoslavia that actually topples Milosevic's regime, NATO's objective can be achieved only by bombing the Serb leader into signing a deal -- which means, ultimately, accepting him as a guarantor of peace in the Balkans. "It is widely believed that Milosevic was given some form of assurances over immunity during the Dayton process, and until recently U.S. intelligence has been very...
...leader of the Jackson group, of Milosevic's sermon on Serbian history. "That took a while." Jackson, she told TIME, responded with an equally lengthy exposition on the private, humanitarian nature of the trip and on the value of trying to break a stalemate between the West and Yugoslavia. Says Campbell: "The sticking point was always who goes first. We went back and 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...
This was plausible in 1941, with Nazism, Fascism and Japanese imperialism overrunning the world. Today its premise is expiring, with loud bangs and many whimpers, in a liar's presidency and on the ghastly fields of the former Yugoslavia.

But last week, in the House's first big vote since impeachment--on a resolution to support the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia--Hastert's leadership was nonexistent. At a meeting with other lawmakers in the White House the morning before the vote, Hastert told PRESIDENT CLINTON that enough Republicans would vote yes on the resolution to ensure its passage. Just hours before the vote, Hastert's chief of staff, SCOTT PALMER, advised the Democrats' chief tallyman, Representative DAVID BONIOR, that about 90 Republicans would...
...good an opportunity for Slobodan Milosevic to resist. With NATO under mounting pressure from China, Russia and even some of its own members to stop bombing Yugoslavia, the Serbian leader announced Monday that he'd ordered some of his troops out of Kosovo and offered to reduce his forces to "peacetime levels" if NATO halts its air campaign. Milosevic is unlikely to withdraw all his forces -- many are involved in daily skirmishes with the Kosovo Liberation Army along the Albanian border -- but any significant retreat will sharply raise pressure on NATO to call off the bombers. "Last week President Clinton...
