THERE ARE TWO JEFFREY WIGANDS. ONE IS the grave, embattled, righteous man millions of viewers watched on 60 Minutes last month as he offered up potentially devastating inside information about the machinations of his former employer, tobacco giant Brown & Williamson.

...HAVE NEVER SEEN A MASS GRAVE AS HORrible as the one shown in the photograph with your article "Unearthing Evil" [WORLD, Jan. 29], about fresh evidence of war crimes in Bosnia. It is a new Holocaust. What is the difference between Bosnian Serbs and Nazis? Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic must be judged for what he has done. IBRAHIM MUNIR Bristol, England...
