Clinton uses pressure as talks with Milosevic loom
Washington expects stage set for negotiations on Kosovo as President Clinton presses Serbia to convey a message to Slobodan Milosevic. The plan centers on Russian envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin and Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari delivering terms for halting NATO’s air campaign and Milosevic’s ground assault. Clinton warns of red lines on sanctions, peacekeeping controls, and Kosovo self government to ensure return of refugees and prevent Serb veto rights.

Public Forum criticizes military policy and leadership
Brent Garnet argues that funding cuts and personnel losses from 1992 measures, plus restricted engagement rules in the Balkans, hamper U.S. forces. He contrasts NATO targets with Desert Storm practices and blames political leaders more than the troops, urging accountability.

Old Home Town Lawrence National Bank expansion noted
The Journal-World highlights the Lawrence National Bank after its drive in facilities at Seventh and Massachusetts. Founded in 1865 as the National Bank of Lawrence by Washington Hadley, it merged with the Douglas County Bank in 1888 and became Lawrence National with J D Bowersack as president. Board members included R W Spars and others. The historic building with the iron ferrie and distinctive roof was torn down in 1949 for a new Seventh and Massachusetts structure.
