...supporters showed up to confront the 4,000 opposition protestors, the move reveals Milosevic's strategy for coping with popular discontent. "Slobo wants some heads broken in confrontations between his supporters and opponents," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "Then he?ll step forward, playing on the fear of civil war in Serbia, and present himself as the only person capable of ensuring peace. It?s the strategy he?s pursued throughout the region over the past decade, only now he?s applying it at home...
Freed from the fear of losing votes, President Clinton finally feels he can begin dismantling Washington?s "archaic" Cuba policy. "There is a conscious decision in this administration to do what needs to be done," a senior White House official was quoted as saying in Wednesday?s New York Times.

...adequate: chimps run a network on which they parody current TV shows and make fun of Hollywood. Just in case Ted Turner could resist talking chimps, the creators have the fake network run by a mean, stupid Australian mogul to mock Turner's rival, Rupert Murdoch. The real fear is that TBS's Turner might turn this show into an actual channel. Chimps all day may sound appealing, but you probably need some midgets and bikinied women to round out even 30 minutes of entertainment...
