...Which persuades the world not at all. An Italian racer in the final, Fabio (no relation to the Fabio) Carta, offered post-race that "We should use a rifle on Ohno. Its absurd that the Korean was disqualified...
...every pretrial appearance, Milosevic has responded with political diatribes. He has labeled the charges against him "absurd" and "monstrous," the prosecutor a NATO mouthpiece, the court a "retarded 7-year-old." He has called himself a peacemaker who is on trial to cover up NATO aggression against a sovereign country. The rants have led the presiding judge, Richard May, to cut off Milosevic's microphone. Milosevic has dropped hints that he might stage a grand scene by calling a parade of Western leaders to testify, starting with former President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. It will...

The same mud-brown paneling, uptight officers, grim-faced suits. It was a moment of such epic soap-opera proportions that one half expected close-ups or an outburst from an aggrieved Hasty Pudding-ite in four-inch heels. Where was the bad theme music? Judge Ito? The white Explorer? The New York Post headline? But there were no such unseemly antics in yesterday’s episode...
