...chatted, the Commerce Secretary could barely contain his enthusiasm over a scheme he had just cooked up involving 200 Big Macs, which he had managed to persuade a McDonald's manager in Croatia to give him, free of charge. His plan was to pick up the burgers in Zagreb, fly them to Tuzla and pass them out to the U.S. troops he would be visiting. That gesture was pure Ron Brown: part theater, part business, with an eye on self-interest and a generous touch...
Burglars broke into the U.N. Center for Human Rights in Zagreb, Croatia, and stole four computers containing data on human-rights violations in Croatia that had been gathered during four years of research.

That's the kind of language that could get a new myth started...
...witness, put their signatures to the agreement to withdraw most of their heavy weapons from around Sarajevo. They agreed to open the Bosnian capital's main roads and airport to unrestricted U.N. traffic. Milosevic kept one copy of the document, and Holbrooke took two copies with him to Zagreb to show to U.N. officials and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and then to Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic...
