Two days of air strikes by Western allies had damaged Serbian munitions dumps, located little more than a mile outside the Bosnian Serb mountaintop headquarters at Pale.

Even Democrats were stunned when former committee chairman Lloyd Bentsen accepted the job as Secretary of the Treasury, which moved Moynihan to the mountaintop, an unproven leader.
