Vojislav Seselj is not a subtle man. During the Bosnian war, the veteran Serbian politician threatened to level the Croatian capital, Zagreb, with a nuclear bomb. Paramilitary units under his leadership did not carve out enemies' eyes with pocket knives, he once told a reporter, they used rusty spoons. He's even accused ex-President Slobodan Milosevic of being too tolerant of minorities. That resumé might be a liability in some parts of the world, but not in Serbia, where the leader of the Serbian Radical Party, 48, is expected to get 30% of the vote in presidential elections...
...been keeping a low profile in Zagreb, intent on living out his days in the quiet comfort of the villa he shares with Magdalena, his wife of 57 years. That was before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia banged hard on Bobetko's door in the Croatian capital's tranquil Tuskanac neighborhood - and demanded to see him in the Hague.

She had little time to train for the women's combined but won that by nearly 1.5 sec. Three days later she missed winning the super-G by a mere .05 sec. But she was happy enough with silver. "I was a little bit out of line," she said...
...quarrying in almost-forgotten archives in Argentina, the U.S. and a number of European countries, has discovered exactly how and why the rat-run was set up. Goñi reveals with forensic precision how the Vatican and the Catholic Church hierarchy in Argentina colluded to protect thousands of Croatian fascists wanted for acts of genocide. He also details how Swiss officials cooperated with a secret office set up in Bern by Perón's agents to smuggle Nazis out of Germany. Perón's support for Hitler, his contacts with Himmler and his hostility to the Nuremberg...
