...high and low points of Dole's campaign to date are nearly impossible to explain without some archaeology into the soil he sprang from and the paths he traveled to get here. We all have the defects of our qualities. In Dole's case, the very traits that help account for his successes--the cutting wit, the stubborn independence, the refusal to ask for help even when stakes are highest--also produced the more horrible moments of this campaign, when he seemed to be running for some other office in some other century on some other planet. Ultimately, says...
SARAJEVO: As the September 14 date for nationwide elections in Bosnia draws near, U.S. and European leaders are nearly unanimous in their resolve to stick to the provisions of the Dayton Peace Accords, but the International Crisis Group, an independent think-tank, is urging a delay. ICG held press conferences Wednesday in London and Sarajevo to argue that the collapse of any semblance of democracy in Bosnia threatens to cement the ethnic division that sparked the war in the first place.

Kemp held discussions with GOP campaign advisors on Thursday, following a long chat about the nomination the evening before with Dole in his Washington apartment...
Ironically, diplomatic intervention in both countries in the early 1990s triggered the bloodiest massacres to date. A U.N.-backed campaign to secure power sharing for Rwanda's Tutsi minority provoked Hutu extremist politicians to conceive a plan that would rid the country of all Tutsi, even the young. To incite peasants into murdering their neighbors, Hutu leaders played on historical fears of a return to Tutsi hegemony and capitalized on a uniquely hierarchical social structure, in which peasants obey their chiefs however chilling the command. Competition for land in what has traditionally been Africa's most densely populated region further...
