...Meanwhile, apart from the graveyard explosion, and ocasional fistfights between Serbs and Muslims in ethnically mixed villages, the fiery words remain just that - words. "As usual, people retained much more common sense than the politicians," says Fuad Kovacevic, the editor of Onasa news agency in Sarajevo. "Almost everybody here is old enough to remember the war, and nobody wants it back." Slavo Kukic, a sociology professor in Mostar, agrees. "I'don't think it could happen again," he says. "After the first shot, everybody would just run away to the far corners of the world. We've been through hell...
...modern human." He argues that the asymmetry in the skull was due not to disease but to the skeleton being buried for thousands of years in 30 feet of sediment, which deformed the fossil.

He left journalism altogether to study law - his father's trade. A few months later, he came to his senses. Il Giornale's editor Indro Montanelli took him aboard and, as if to quell all Severgnini's provincial doubts, made the 27-year-old the paper's London correspondent.
