...been accused of being a draft dodger, a smuggler and an all-around bully, but is MARKO MILOSEVIC just misunderstood? Last week in the town of Pozarevac, the son of Yugoslav President Slobodan cut the ribbon on Bambi Park, an amusement park he had built even as the air war raged. Marko says the park offers "proof of care for the young generation." For the older generation, proof of Marko's care can be seen at Madona, a nightclub enticingly advertised as the largest in the Balkans.

They won the Olympic gold medal in 1996, and some, including Akers, were around in 1991, when the team won the inaugural World Cup, held in China, where the event apparently was kept a state secret. Indeed, the team barely played the next year because U.S. Soccer couldn't afford to pay anyone...
...Bronson wants you to feel Silicon Valley's heartbeat. He wants you to know why people pour in from around the globe to struggle at no-name start-ups and fight for $1,200 studios next to strip malls. The valley is the epicenter of the digital revolution, the soul of change. Its lure must be more than a crass grab for cash, right...
