Perhaps as a result, Washington is determined to squelch rising suspicion that ground troops might well be needed to defeat Milosevic. The Pentagon, the White House and NATO spokesmen spent much of the three-day summit insisting their sustained bombardment of Yugoslavia was paying off. Officials rolled out numbers to tick off progress: after 3,000 target strikes, 16 early-warning radars were gone, half of Serbia's MiG-29s destroyed, two oil refineries eliminated, 25% of stored fuel wiped out, all four vital rail and road links to Kosovo damaged.

So it was perhaps a gesture of gratitude that when it came time to announce McCurry's not-so-surpising resignation as press secretary, President Clinton poked his head into McCurry's daily briefing Thursday and did the disseminating himself for a change. "Much to my regret . . . the long-awaited coup in the press office is finally taking place," Clinton said, and it's no surprise that the President's smile seemed a little rueful...
