Albright presses NATO aid and Milosevic fall
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, a longtime advocate of force, urged NATO to aid ethnic Albanians in Kosovo with full scale bombing of Milosevic’s military hardware. Born in 1937 in Czechoslovakia, she renewed her oath as a U.S. citizen last autumn and spoke in Serbo Croatian to urge Serbs to turn against Milosevic.
