1) World news roundup

It appears that Kosovo refugees are no longer being permitted to cross over
into Albania and Macedonia, as Serb forces were observed lining the inside

director said Thursday that she is, “Very, very worried” about the welfare
and fate of the thousands of Kosovar refugees. Meanwhile, NATO has admitted
that the bombing of Serbian military targets in Yugoslavia has increased,
but denied responsibility for what has been termed “widespread” civilian
damage.
IN OTHER NEWS…

President Bill Clinton and Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji Thursday. Differences
still remain, however, in areas of human rights which have plagued US-China
