...unapologetically bellicose neighbor to the east. The meeting was only the third such emergency summit that E.U. leaders have held. The first came after the Sept. 11 attacks; the second, riven with discord, convened in the run-up to the Iraq war. This conclave is as unlikely to enter the hit parade of diplomatic history as the first two. The leaders condemned Russia's unilateral recognition of South Ossetia and another breakaway province, Abkhazia, and called for Russian forces to be withdrawn "to the lines held prior to the outbreak of hostilities."

He stands when the judges enter the court; he wears his translation headphones, something Milosevic never deigned to do. Although his insistence on representing himself is hardly original, the way he expressed it to judges in just one of his growing list of complaints is distinctly, and tellingly, his own.

Whenever I enter a room full of journalists or writers, they give me a look as if I had just raised my hand and said, "I'd like to let you know that I'm a child molester." There's that insular attitude. I wish I had never said a thing. I don't think journalists should talk about whom they're voting...
