VOGOSCA, BOSNIA: NATO troops fired the first hostile gunfire of the Bosnia peacekeeping mission Friday as they defended a wounded Italian military engineer. Corporal Elio Sbordoni was shot in the arm by an unknown sniper who fired on a hotel complex housing Italian soldiers in Vogosca, a Serb-held suburb of Sarajevo. The gunman escaped. NATO officials, who define a 'firing incident' as five or more shots fired in succession, are counting roughly 400 such incidents per day in Sarajevo...
...days before a highly publicized concert that despite featuring mimes was supposed to give a much needed shot in the arm to his career, it was MICHAEL JACKSON himself who was getting medical help.

But the i.r.a. has yet to relinquish some of its arms--an issue the British regard as crucial to a final peace accord. The signing came just before the son of Virginia Cassidy Blythe Clinton Kelley arrived in Northern Ireland--the first U.S. President ever to visit there. Greeted by enthusiastic crowds, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, Clinton clearly rejoiced in his role as designated peacemaker. One Irish-American politician accompanying the President...
Most laws are a compromise which society decides between two conflicting desires. If you want to swing your arm wildly, you have every right to do so, but this right ends at the tip of my nose. If person A wants to commit violent acts for fun, and person B does not appreciate being beaten or killed, society makes a policy choice (simple in this situation) which values A's right to shoot and stab much lower than B's right not to be shot and stabbed. Sometimes the situation is less clear: Person A wants to listen to loud...
