Rick,
This may surprise you, but I was the person who originally exposed
Bettelheim for the fraud that he was. But that's a long story and, if you're
interested, I can give you the details later as time permits.

> government has already informed the head of the UN
> Civilian Mission in the province (UNMIK) Hans
> Haekkerup of its views on his Constitutional Framework
> for Kosovo. The Yugoslav government believes that the
> necessary conditions for holding elections in

> pre-conditions include better safety for all
> inhabitants of Kosovo-Metohija, the return of refugees
> and displaced persons, completion of the
> demobilization process and progress in resolving the

> Demilitarization and multi-ethnic police have an

> This process should secure full protection of

> intolerance or violence. Simultaneously, the issue of
