...losses. It had been easy to ride out the first 30 days of air strikes, when bad weather and alliance timidity limited the damage Serbia suffered. But "he was feeling the pain" in the second month, says a U.S. intelligence officer, as NATO racked up 350 attack sorties every 24 hours. Bombs and missiles had blitzed much of Serbia's heavy industry, energy sector and transport network. Citizen morale crumbled under water shortages and power outages as NATO hammered the country's electric grid. Protests broke out in the smashed industrial cities of the south...
...best of mornings. Chad Davis, 19, of Green Bay, Wis., had heard that the FBI had raided the homes of some of the more rambunctious members of his cybergang, better known on the Internet as gH. Davis (a.k.a. MindPhasr) also knew that within hours of those raids a retaliatory attack had taken the official FBI website out of action. But this was Saturday, three days later, and Davis assumed that the heat had passed. "I really wasn't expecting it to happen to me," he says...
...meanwhile, things have got out of hand. The trouble began when a gH member named Eric Burns, who is suspected of hacking the White House home page, was indicted in Virginia on unrelated charges. In response, someone calling himself Israeli Ghost hit fbi.gov with a massive "denial of service" attack--a nasty form of info warfare in which a host site is flooded with requests (in this case, 600,000 per second) that paralyze it. Fbi.gov still hasn't recovered; FBI spokesmen say they're waiting for IBM to build them a better firewall...
Tarzan to the rescue! If not fiscally, then artistically. From the first images, the picture chest-thumps its narrative expertise. A shipwreck brings the baby Tarzan's parents to the jungles of East Africa; they die violently in a leopard attack; a baby gorilla is killed by the same leopard, Sabor; the grieving gorilla mother Kala (voiced by Glenn Close) discovers the humans' corpses and their living child; she saves the child from Sabor and decides to rear the human as her own; Kala's mate Kerchak (Lance Henriksen) gruffly, suspiciously accedes to her wish. All this--basically, the start...
There are many theories and debates on whether the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was in fact a mistake. If Americans had been killed in a bomb attack on the U.S. embassy, all hell would have broken loose. Do the politicians really expect the Chinese just to forgive NATO for what happened? I do not believe in an eye for an eye, but by not fully apologizing right away, the U.S. hurt its own people who are expatriates living in China. MEI OSAN Scarborough...
