...Drina L. Chan ’06 has become notorious for her dirty little fetish, which has sent many a hook-up into feverish personal deliberations over the merit of remaining faithful to widely held mores of personal hygiene versus realizing a long-held childhood fantasy ingrained in those days of heightened scatological awareness prior to potty training. Things have gotten really down and dirty, however, since Chan got together with Chris Bryson ’05, whose sexual repertoire was similarly shaped by Psychology...
Wedged between the turbulent Drina River and a dark mountainside in eastern Bosnia, the town of Foca is not a place that welcomes strangers. In the early 1990s it was the site of some of the worst atrocities of the Bosnian war. Muslims were driven from their homes, raped, robbed and murdered. Some were dumped in the caves that lace the crags above the town; others were dropped in the river, where at night, according to a resident, corpses could be heard hitting the surface "like logs."

...Serbia's capital, Belgrade, thought they saw indications Milosevic was backing the offensive.

By Friday, Serb forces had moved artillery and armored vehicles into the surrounding hills and pounded away at the city of 65,000 civilians with howitzers, mortars and tank cannons. On Saturday afternoon, as Bosnian radio reported fretfully that tanks were rolling through Gorazde and firing into residential areas, NATO dispatched six planes...
...certainly faces serious obstacles. Izetbegovic wants a federation of Muslims and Croats encompassing at least half of Bosnia, which means the Serbs would have to relinquish a fair share of their holdings. Several areas Izetbegovic most insistently wants back lie along the Drina River near the border with Serbia, a region the Serbs have swept with ruthless "ethnic cleansing" and are determined to keep...
