...Doboj in April hoping he would be allowed to return home. After all, the war had ended four months earlier. Instead, he was met by several thousand angry Serbs wielding pitchforks and throwing rocks. Among them was the prospective Serb city councilman, Predrag Kujundzic, 35, a massive, one-time bouncer responsible for the "ethnic cleansing" of several Muslim villages in the area in 1992. After flattening Esad with his thick fist, Kujundzic left him to other Serbs who pummeled him with clubs and stones until, bleeding and immobile, he was thrown back into Muslim territory...
...goes ahead, prowling the unexplored bushes of public opinion. He is the Whipping Boy who takes the blame whenever anything goes wrong. He is the Janitor who sweeps up the floor (usually using some victim as the broom). He is the Public Executioner, the Court Poisoner and the Bouncer.

Nobody could give any coherent answer--not even Livingstone, who seemed remarkably vague on many matters. He insisted, for example, that he learned only about a month ago the scope and breadth...
...according to some of the two dozen people interviewed by TIME who know Livingstone, that the security director's love of intrigue and need for acceptance may have led him into waters too deep for his skills. (Fellow advance men used to call him Craig Flintstone.) A former restaurant bouncer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Livingstone apparently inflated his work history. He said he was the public-relations man for an Atlantic City casino, but that job requires a license, which, according to the Casino Control Commission, he never obtained.
