add to cart   close window

The article focuses on political conditions of the U.S. and around the world, as of April 26, 1999. In New York, the police brutality protests are widely perceived as barometers of dissatisfaction with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani has prospered politically by making himself the most visible apostle of the law-enforcement creed variously known as zero tolerance, quality-of-life policing or public-order policing. Its claim that NATO knew of Milosevic's ethnic cleansing plans and was prepared for the torrent of refugees flowing out of Kosovo was a shabby attempt to cover up a reckless miscalculation whose consequences NATO and humanitarian groups are now scrambling to deal with.
