...close relationship with Milosevic." The State Department has been trying to keep Karadzic, the political leader of the Bosnian Serbs who is prevented by Dayton from running for office, from exerting his influence through loyal subordinates.

In due course, Pauline unbends slightly, but is confounded by Angelo's total impenetrability. For though he obviously cares...
Watkins took the reprimand with aplomb, but Foster seemed stunned. In all their years together, years in which he had so often acted as Hillary's mentor and protector, she had never spoken to him like this. The encounter drove home the fact that he was now working for her; he almost invariably referred to Hillary, but not Bill, as "the client."
