And with the respite, spring seemed to return to Belgrade, where people thronged into the streets during the day, and cafes and discos began popping open at night. But early Thursday morning, NATO’s air war came back with a vengeance. The sky lighted up with antiaircraft fire, the bombsfalling, and then, one missile screeching onto the grounds of Dragisa Misovic hospital, killing three patients and a security E The war had not gone away; it had simply receded in Belgrade following NATO’s May7 strike at the Chinese Embassy. It returned to where the Boulevard of Peace meets the Boule- vard of the Unknown Hero,to the Dragisa Misovic hospital complex that lies a few hundred yards away from a string of military filled with mothers and babies. Serb authorities expressed outrage that the hospital was hit. “The primary targets arecivilians — helpless civilians,” Milice- vie said. Outat the site, Miodrag Lazic, headof the urology unit, recalled what happened as the missile struck. “T haveto tell you it was really horrific — terrible,” he said. “The building whereI was, I just hearda hugenoise of windowsbeing broken, doors blown out.

The United States and its NATO allies are trying to wear down the government of Presi- dent Slobodan Milosevic before their own alliance falls apart, seeking as well to end thefighting in time to get hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees back to their homes in Kosovo before winter returns. “This is, at the moment, a com- petition in time,” said a senior State Department official, “a competition in time as to whether Mr. Milosevic and his regime. which is beginning to fray, will have a fray rate more rapid, and in a sense therefore more respon: sive, than thatin the alliance.” The fray rate for both sides seemed to accelerate this week Within NATO, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder made more definite Germany's opposi- tion to use of ground troops, while at the same time British leaders pressed the United States to back preparations for a ground inva. sion if Milosevic refuses NATO's terms. In Yugoslavia,allied forces re- ported signs of war weariness among Serb troops and civilians as desertions and protests appeared in several towns. State Deent spokesman James Ru. bin called the unrest “further evidence that Milosevic's regime is beginning to crack.” ’ el OR COPY) From the perspective of NATO military planners, timeis on their side.
