...anyone violating the accord, but sounded a note of reality as well. "We always knew the Dayton agreement was complex and would need constant monitoring and attention," Christopher said, adding he was unsurprised by the discovery, or indications it will be followed by more of the same. In spite of Christopher's blase attitude, the discovery stresses what everyone in Bosnia already knows, but isn't telling: The Dayton accords are violated practically every day while politicians pretend everything is moving along smoothly. "This is just another example of the Dayton Treaty's two levels," says TIME's Marguerite Michaels...

At least, President Clinton thinks so, and he took his views on children's programming to a meeting with the television industry that ended late Sunday in a victory for education advocates. The main result: an agreement by the television industry to program three hours of educational shows a week for children. Surrounded by 50 TV executives, actors, children's advocates and producers, Clinton told American parents that they were not alone in the struggle...
