...then he explained the awful tactics of destruction: "The paramilitary would go in first, the MUP would mop, and the VJ [Yugoslav army] would stand as the rear guard of the operation." There were different orders for all commands, he said as he took a pull on a cool orange Fanta. "We all worked in synchronicity. I alone killed 500 [alleged K.L.A. soldiers]." As for the killing of civilians, he added, "there are wacky members in every unit. And you just don't have the time to control them...
Have hackers been at the White House website again? Are George W.'s operatives already doing dirty tricks in cyberspace?

With each passing software season, the once passive Web grows a little more interactive. Hundreds of websites have added bulletin and scribble boards where visitors can post comments. There is even a charming little app called Gooey that lets users stick live-chat windows on any site they choose...

Oscar Wilde's second-best play, about a politician threatened with scandal, was in love with its own verbal dazzle and even more with the frailties of the clever folk at its heart. Adapter Parker, content to skate on the cool, hard surface of Wilde's wit, gets suave turns from Jeremy Northam (right) as the pol, Cate Blanchett (left) as his naive wife, Rupert Everett as a drawling best friend and Julianne Moore as the blackmailer. He also retains enough of Wilde's wit that you may want to reach for your Epigramamine. But the plot is trashed...
