...despite fragile health. Euro-enthusiastic Finns should give thumbs up Oct. 16. But Sweden's pro-E.U. forces remain outnumbered, and in Norway, the last to vote, on Nov. 28, opposition is at 52% and rising. Scandinavian Euro-boosters were hurt by last week's parliamentary results in Denmark, where anti-E.U. parties got a quarter of the vote...
Only a smattering of cases have been brought. In Bosnia two men have been tried for murder and rape, and authorities in Belgrade have sentenced a Serb to death for killing 16 Muslim civilians. Alleged war criminals have been arrested in Germany and Denmark, and France is investigating charges brought by five Muslims against Bosnian Serbs. The German case against a Serb named Dusan Tadic, 38, arrested in February, will go to trial in Germany or before the Hague tribunal...
Sudoplatov reports a conversation between Bohr and Yakov Terletsky, a Soviet physicist and intelligence agent, in Denmark in 1945.

Israeli and P.L.O. negotiators resumed talks on Palestinian self-rule after signing an agreement that would provide protection for the 80,000 Palestinians living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

Earlier in the week in Gaza, Israeli undercover agents disguised as Palestinians killed six members of the Fatah wing of the P.L.O. Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres called the killings "very regrettable...
August's films fails to capture the intricacies of Allende's novel. We lose all sense of "The House of the Spirits" as a Latin American epic. The movie was filmed in Denmark and Portugal, the characters speak English with a wide variety of accents. There is never a consensus as to the correct pronunciation of Spanish names and places, which are included (along with a handful of Hispanic actors) as one of the few reminders that "The House of the Spirits" is supposed to occur in Latin America...
