Firmly ensconced as Serbia's boss, Milosevic proved to be smart, articulate and cunning. "He does not believe in ideas," says a Russian-born observer. "He makes no value judgments." So far as anyone can tell, he brought with him no grand plan for Serbia. His ambition appeared to consist of staying on top--forever. While he has showed a genius for tactics, he is perpetually forced to react to events, even ones he provokes...

When Serb officials began several months ago to obstruct the work of international monitors in Kosovo, it was clearly at his orders, a way of saying, notes a diplomat involved, "This is my turf, and I'm boss." He does not flaunt decorative symbols of office or stage showy ceremonies and cares nothing for state protocol. But if he shirks the glamour of power, he still loves delicious moments of control.

And yet the only word to come out of Redmond is a leaked memo from Microsoft lawyer David Heiner to the executive team. Shunning all evidence...
Still, the proximity of flesh-and-blood company probably counts for something. Which is probably why the lawyer of another Supermax inmate--Luis Felipe, boss of the Latin Kings street gang--has successfully requested to have his client placed among the bombers. When Felipe was in a New York prison, where communication was much less restrained, he allegedly managed to organize gangland hits in the outside world. Hence his transfer to the imposed silence of Supermax. All that, however, has been debilitating, says Felipe's lawyer, Lawrence Feitell. "His power of speech is deteriorating." Could this murderous quartet become Four...
