'X itiiiiwihii-wJ SARAJEVO, Bosnia Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic yesterday rejected a new US-European effort to contain Bosnia's 13-month-old factional war, accusing the West of abandoning his people and plotting to herd them onto "reservations." For his part, Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic hailed the initiative and praised President Clinton for resisting military intervention in the conflict. The new Balkan action plan, announced Saturday in Washington by Secretary of State Warren Christopher and the foreign ministers of Russia, Britain, France and Spain, drew bipartisan congressional criticism yesterday. Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole of Kansas declared that it amounts to "writing off Bosnia as a state," while Sen.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Democrat of New York, accused the administration of "legitimating genocide." In a passionate statement read in Sarajevo, Izetbegovic, leader of the Slavic Muslim faction in Bosnia's three-sided communal war, scolded Western leaders for their role in what he called an "absolutely unacceptable plan" to resolve a bloody conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people, created more than 1.4 million refugees most of them Muslims and left 70 percent of the republic in the hands of Bosnian Serb nationalists.

Salvatore DiMasi (left) and Sen. Robert Havern at a beach party In Puerto Rico. By Paul Quinn-Judge GLOBE STAFF WASHINGTON The great nightmare that haunted policy makers and spies for the past 40 years a Soviet nuclear strike, Warsaw Pact armor punching across the plains of Western Europe -has vanished.

Now they see a host of smaller nightmares, each capable of presenting the White House with a major crisis, each as hard to predict as a new Soviet weapons system. In public statements and interviews, the world view of analysts and senior members of the intelligence community in the early months of the Clinton administration emerges. It is a picture of dangers lurking in a dozen places around the globe. The intelligence community, which includes the CIA, the National Security Agency, the FBI and other organizations, is trying to pinpoint these trouble spots and develop inside information on them. Washington's intelligence analysts also apparently want to avoid a repetition of the con-CIA; Page 5 tretched.

out under swaying palm trees on a secluded white-sand beach in Puerto Rico, House Speaker Charles F.

Flaherty's legislative agenda had been reduced to one word: fun. And his lobbyist friends, whose clients had major issues pending in the Legislature, were there to oblige. 1 Back home on Beacon Hill, where the Legislature had been operating in slow motion for most of the year, the public's business was piling up as high as the wind-whipped snow that was blanketing Greater Boston. But work was out of place at this gathering. It was about sun tans and golf and drinking and eating.

It amounted to a secret, free winter vaca tion for the speaker and his friends, with lobbyists footing part of the bill and campaign funds underwriting the rest. The beach party is a rare snapshot of how things sometimes work in the Massachusetts Legislature. It brings into focus how a small group of insiders takes care of its needs first and deals with public policy later. It also highlights how a former-legislator-turned-lobbyist has built a thriving business off of his close ties to Flaherty.

Kiernan GLOBE STAFF i A i the-nation primary. The games have begun.

"The fever's out there," said Republican media consultant Patrick W. Griffin, who worked with the Bush campaign during the 1992 presidential primary. "Shocking" was how Democratic activist George Bruno, a longtime backer of President Clinton, described it. And the Democratic National Committee, which is keeping an eye on it all from Washington, says the GOP ought to get Americans jobs instead of hustling jobs for themselves. Clinton, in New Hampshire on Saturday, said he thought everybody "ought to take a little time out" from politicking to do some work.

NEW HAMPSHIRE, Page 35 CONCORD, N.H. High-profile Republicans are poking around here these days. They say they are just enjoying the scenery or visiting friends. But New Hampshire, which knows a wanna-be candidate when it sees one, says they're also scoping out the presidential territory. "Oh, no!" cried two women, in tandem, from their desks at the secretary of state's office, at the mention that Campaign '96 had started to crank up.

No matter that New Hampshire's official "Redbook" of results on the 1992 election has yet to be released or that officials here haven't even figured out the date for the 1996 New Hampshire first-in- GLOBE STAFF PHOTO JOHN TLUMACKI Residents outnumber rooms at the Westborough facility, where 10 of 25 youths are charged with murder. Help often crowded out for DYS' charges By James L. Franklin and Jordana Hart GLOBE STAFF Boston University is negotiating to buy WQTV (Ch. 68), the television station owned by the financially beleaguered First Church of Christ, Scientist, a university spokesman said yesterday. Kevin Carleton, the spokesman, said the school is considering the "proposition" with "due diligence" and expects a decision within the next 30 days on whether to acquire the station.

A sale to BU would keep Channel 68 as one of the few locally owned television stations in Boston. It would also provide a building block for a school with a record of high-quality programming in public radio, through station WBUR-FM, and some experience in local cable television, in collaboration with Boston Neighborhood Network Television. For the church, BU would be a STATION, Page 4 By Lynda Gorov GLOBE STAFF the TV room is short of chairs. And it takes so long for the 25 boys to brush their teeth and use the bathroom before bed that everybody is locked into their room a half-hour early. "It's too crowded," said Ricky, held for 17 months while waiting to be tried for murder.

"There's not enough stuff." With some prodding, he concedes that not many people would care about his discomfort. Then, polite as ever, Ricky leans in and offers them something to care about: "It's hard to get helped when you ask to see a counselor and can't." Not all of the alleged killers, robbers and rapists the state Department of Youth Services holds through their trials are open to help. But many youths who are cannot get it.

Maybe this is because Friel, 52, a veteran history teacher at Stoneham High School, didn't choose to spend a year in this small town just outside Moscow for the comfort.

In fact, as the first ever Fulbright Scholar to be placed in a Russian public high school, he knew just how serious his job was: to help teach Russia's young generation how to function in the post-Communist world. "For these kids it's like growing up in America in the 1940s," he said. "They're not going to accept what their parents accepted." At 11 a.m. on a recent day, 18 lOth-grade students filed into Friel's classroom, tucked away at the end of the modest concrete building. As the bell rang, Friel sprang into action, moving across the linoleum floors of the room with his boyish Btep, filing off questions to students more used to sitting quietly and scrib-VTJIACHER, Page 12 KALININ, Russia As a teacher at School No.
