THE Communist leader Gennadi A. Zyuganov has made some far-fetched claims on the stump. Last week, he suggested that Stalin respected the Russian Orthodox Church in his heart. He also said that 20 years ago the C.I.A. launched a plot to destroy the Soviet Union, and that the Russian mass media are conspiring against him. On at least the third claim, Mr. Zyuganov has a point.

ALL you worrywarts wringing your hands over whether liberals and conservatives in this country will ever come together can just take a chill pill. They already share common ground in this respect: they are both the targets of advertisers hawking a variety of products and services, some of which are pretty schlocky. Hey, it could be something to build on.

Buckley Jr., which celebrated its 40th last year.

NATO's success so far in enforcing a military settlement of the war in Bosnia has restored the credibility and sense of purpose the alliance has been seeking since the end of the cold war, but the achievement rests on foundations as fragile as the peace here. More than three months into its 12-month mandate in Bosnia, NATO has hardly had to fire a shot to get the parties to observe the provisions of the peace agreement that required them to pull back from the front lines and start reducing their forces.
