That, Western officials fear, would jeopardize the safety of U.N. forces in neighboring Bosnia, reignite the fighting there and set off a general conflagration that could bring Serbia directly into the war. The consequences of the U.N. withdrawal "could trigger the most dangerous situation Europe has seen since 1945," says Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State who is leading the effort to keep the U.N. forces in place...
...Alfonse D'Amato will head the steering committee for Bob Dole's presidential campaign. The New York senator's move is expected to trigger a wave of endorsements for Dole by Gov.

Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott led a high-level U.S. business delegation to Haiti on a two-day mission that the Clinton Administration hopes will trigger quick and massive investment in the hemisphere's poorest country.

...become one of the most respected and powerful in the country, prophesied that in a few years motorists on the New Jersey Turnpike would see oil refineries adorned with signs written in Arabic and pictures of the King of Saudi Arabia proclaiming their new ownership. Oil shocks did help trigger raging inflation that even into the early 1980s seemed endless. I recall one of my journalism colleagues (no, we aren't immune to this kind of folly) asking a high financial official whether he could foresee price increases and interest rates ever falling below 10%-and expressing shocked disbelief when...
