>From SLATE magazine's daily summary of the big US newspaper's front pages:
>All the papers lead with the latest on the Yugoslavian war. The main
developments are: 1) In response to the increasingly chaotic situation in
Macedonia and Albania, NATO's announcement of plans to evacuate
approximately 100,000 Kosovar refugees temporarily to various NATO
countries. According to the coverage, the U.S. is planning to house its
share of the refugees in either Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or in Guam; <

Be careful what you wish for. The US is going to house the Kosovar refugees
in Guantanomo?

>... 3) The official confirmation of a change in the NATO force first
written about over the weekend: the deployment of 24 Apache attack
helicopters and Army tactical missiles to Albania along with 2,000 Army
troops to protect them there. The Pentagon adamantly describes this not as
a move toward a ground war, but as a straightforward extension of the air
war. <

It's good to see that SLATE is a wee bit skeptical of the Pentagon's
descriptions.
