...killed so far. A lieutenant colonel, call sign "Rico," 40, scored one of those kills from his F-15C. "I was in the right place at the right time, and had a little luck," he says. "He ran into my missile." He had to wait for an AWACS to confirm that it was a foe before taking it on. "That all took about 20, 30 sec., but it seemed like it lasted an hour," he recalls. "Your hands, your eyes, your mouth--everything goes into training mode," he said. "Combat still scares the hell...
Even though police had been suspicious of Ethan's self-inflicted wound, it took them months to fully link the Chevy Suburban to the Rustica robbery and then to Ethan--and weeks more to confirm the connection with DNA tests. But by the following spring, authorities were finally ready to move. On April 16, 1998, they arrested Ethan at school...
...latest accusations from the West include the charge that Kosovars are being used as human shields. "We certainly hear that [Serb forces] have surrounded military vehicles with civilians," says Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon.

"Is it proper for public institutions to become salespeople and build brand loyalty?" asks Andrew Hagelshaw, senior program director at the Center for Commercial-Free...
...tougher job, as this haunting first feature proves. Isa is defiantly sunny, her pal severe, volcanic. Isa tries awful things (like a job handing out flyers on rollerskates) because, hey, they could be "tres cool"; Marie endures awful things (like an affair with a bourgie creep) to confirm her dour view of the world. The stars shared the Best Actress prize at Cannes last year, and both are brilliant. But Bouchez's expressive face lets you speed-read each of a dozen moods in a few seconds. That's innate screen genius...
