...Yugoslav President grudgingly reduces his troops in Kosovo, SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC is taking it out at home on foes and friends alike, closing a radio station and five newspapers and purging Belgrade University of professors. But in a big surprise last week, he sacked his ruthless spymaster, JOVICA STANISIC, whose loyalists fear he may be blamed by Milosevic for the "ethnic cleansing" of much of Bosnia. That explains why, after the ouster, Stanisic said Milosevic bore primary responsibility for the work of the secret police. Why did Milosevic dump a man who may finger him for war crimes?

...this month was a pretty good indicator of why he thrives on such high-octane politics--and why even his critics give him credit for being steel-stiff under pressure. He is, for instance, an expert in the art of intimidation--an essential tool when dealing with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

The U.S. has already used its arsenal of air- and sea-launched cruise missiles to turn out Baghdad's lights during the Gulf War, retaliate against terrorists and assassins, and force the Serbs to the peace table in Dayton, Ohio. Now Serbia and Yugoslav President Milosevic are in the crosshairs again. If the massacres of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo do not stop, NATO warns...
