Although the Dayton accord has brought a bare minimum of peace to the Balkans, even that will not last if implementation of the civilian provisions fails, and none is more crucial than the one promising that the men who held the club and the gun will be arrested and tried. "How can I ever go home," says Hamdija, a Muslim refugee in Sarajevo, "if the man who killed my father goes free...
...more to the inner city ("We're losing in this country to Islam") and to make the crusades' musical component less churchy and more accessible.

He took a passionate stand against paving the two-lane road into Terlingua Ranch. "We both worried about the destruction of mankind from...
These days, my machine is down to the bare minimum. For the first week since the crash, I just opened e-mail over the network, and left my hard drive blank-hoping that somehow the spirit of thing would return in the night and everything would be the way it used to be. A few days ago, I finally brought myself to install Word again, realizing that my teaching fellows would not exactly buy the excuse that I could not turn in my response paper because I was having a computer mourning period...
