of July, Bosnian Serbs had made a mockery of the UN and, by extension, of the commitments of NATO and the United States. They weren’t, but even if they had been, the downings still would have violated international law. When Al notified him that a NATO attack on Yugoslavia was imminent, Primakov ordered his plane to turn around and take him back to Moscow. Senate elections in Texas and Georgia, governors’ races in Virginia and New Jersey, and the mayoral races in New York and Los Angeles.

By the time of the August hearings and Starr’s latest round of indictments, I had settled into a routine of handling press questions about Whitewater with as little public comment as possible. I was still trying to find a way to save Bosnia that restored the effectiveness of the UN and NATO, but by the third week I went to Japan with an agenda: to get the agreement of European and Japanese leaders to coordinate thei tates in its Partnership for Peace gathered to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of NATO, and to reaffirm our determination to prevail in Kosovo.
