...boring the road was, I figured out how many miles were left by the kind of barbed wire fence we were passing. There was only one other car on the road, the same one every day. I remember because the man driving it read the newspaper while he drove to work (at about 70 mph). He never had an accident, nor was there any reason to think he would. The road was straight and there was nothing to hit except some sagebrush and barbed wire fences...
...military policeman, Martin John Begosh of Rockville, Md., became the first American injured in the Bosnia peace mission when he drove over a land mine. But the mission is being delayed by a more powerful adversary than mines: Mother Nature. Efforts to build a pontoon bridge across the Sava River, so that the bulk of the U.S. deployment could proceed from Croatia into Bosnia, were swamped by the swollen river's floodwaters, which rose more than 5 ft. in 24 hours, sweeping away materiel, stranding trucks and soaking G.I.s...

Discoveries of an astonishing variety of 1st century coins, for example, help explain the need for money changers, whom an angry Jesus drove away from Jerusalem's Great Temple. Still, there are many questions that archaeology cannot now answer. Did Pilate pass judgment on Jesus at the Antonia fortress near the Temple site, or at Herod's palace across town? (If the latter, then the famed Via Dolorosa--the route that Jesus followed carrying his cross to Golgotha--is incorrect.) Is the tomb of Jesus beneath the Church of the Holy...
