While Milosevic moved fast to stay ahead of the impact of the air strikes, NATO was plagued by bad luck. Only about half the bombing sorties actually dropped ordnance on targets. Some planes were socked in by bad weather; other pilots couldn't eyeball their prey--NATO rules required visual identification of a target to prevent civilian casualties--through the thick cloud cover, and returned to base with bomb bays still loaded. "Everybody is surprised," says a White House aide, "that we're not as far along as we wanted...
...Usenet newsgroup devoted to erotica. This is where the computer virus called Melissa was, in geek terminology, released "in the wild." Named after a topless dancer in Florida, where "her" alleged author once lived, the virus was unremarkable except for her speed. Experts had never seen anything spread so fast. People trusted Melissa; she arrived disguised as an e-mail from a friend or colleague. In a matter of days, she was replicating herself all over cyberspace--from Berlin to Beijing, from the U.S. Marine Corps to the office of Republican Congressman Jim Talent--causing shutdowns in more than...

Why not have the money go directly to the college...
...insists. Motichka got a copy of her original pathology report, showed it to other physicians and learned that her tumor was not a fast-growing type after all. Moreover, it was small--about the size of a peanut--and did not seem to have spread. In fact, the biopsy that retrieved a sample of the tumor for testing may have removed the whole thing. She feels she had had all the surgery she needed--before the mastectomy. In 1994 Motichka filed the suit that she finally won two weeks ago. Dr. Cody's attorney maintains that his client discussed lumpectomy...
