...Europe's best-kept ski secret lies in the Bjelasica mountains at Jezerine, about 15 minutes by car outside the town of Kolasin, itself an hour and a half's drive up the stunning Moraca Canyon from the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica. Although the range's highest peak, Crna Glava (Black Head), is only 7,018 ft. (2,139 m), the amount of snowfall and variety of terrain in Jezerine will surprise you.

...They had been evicted from a squatters den three months ago, after being kicked out of their homes during the ethnic cleansing of a Baghdad neighborhood in 2006. She stops suit-and-tie men wearing expensive jewelry, asking for high-level politicians by name, to see people who an hour earlier shared the stage with Maliki. "I know I'm an old woman, but I can't find anyone to help me. I came here because now I don't have a place to live." Dejected, the women exit into the hot and dusty parking lot. "I want our voice...
