...Aidman's internationally toured revue, a few actors divide up seventy monologues (Masters' original had two hundred and forty four) and deliver them as souls speaking from the grave. They are complemented by two more players (Will Hines and Regina Wambui Macharia) singing folk ballads and spirituals throughout which compose a thematic matrix for the entire...
...report by the U.N. identified no fewer than 187 suspected mass-grave sites in the former Yugoslavia, most of them in Bosnia. Thirteen supposedly had "500 bodies or more," and some as many as 5,000. The report came out a year before the fall of Srebrenica to Serb forces last July, following which up to 8,000 Muslim men, women and children vanished--either taken captive by the Serbs, killed on sight by them, or gone missing from an enormous, frequently attacked column of military-age men fleeing across Serb territory. Just how difficult it remains to investigate alleged...
...peace enforcers' primary job is to create and maintain a "zone of separation" between the belligerents, a task nearly completed last week. Lieut. General Michael Walker, commander of NATO ground troops in Bosnia, declared, "We would be running around like rabbits if we went rushing after every single mass-grave allegation."

...former Muslim enclave of Srebrenica, up to now sealed from all allied officials and reporters, where as many as 7,000 civilians may have been massacred by Bosnian Serbs. "Two thousand missing people very nearby could mean that up to 2,000 people could be buried in this mass grave," Shattuck said, after seeing a blood-spattered warehouse and the nearby field that investigators believe is the burial site. "Shattuck was seeing what the United States has long known about," says TIME's Mark Thompson. "The State Department has filed eight reports to the tribunal over the last four years...
THANK YOU FOR PUBLISHING LITTLE Elisa's sad story and for exposing the grave injustice that agencies such as the Child Welfare Administration in New York City do little children. The cwa is not held accountable for its actions or failure to act. It is time that such agencies and the courts broadened their awareness to include what is really important: a child's best interests. Elisa, a youngster with the potential for a bright future, could be alive today if someone had cared enough. Why do we reunite children with their families when we know the youngsters...
