On Main Street, sleek satellite uplink trucks park next to battered pickups, some of which have a deer shot out of season thrown in the back. On snowy sidewalks, network correspondents, posing in L. L. Bean country outfits, cross paths with ranchers in bib overalls spattered with blood from calving season.

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.

We're no angels. We are a noisy, imperfect lot struggling to scribble what has been called the first draft of history. The occupation has always had its hazards. As George Bernard Shaw wrote to a journalist: "Dear Sir, Your profession has, as usual, destroyed your brain."

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. Take a look at the leading glossy magazines of the two camps: Mother Jones, the liberal bimonthly that is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and National Review, the conservative biweekly founded by William F. 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.
