...Charge. TIME Correspondent Robert Ball watched the fighting from a nearby hillside, then entered the village to see the grisly results. His report: "The bitterest fighting was at the western edge of the village, where the attacking Greeks had the cover of gnarled olive trees. In one mud-brick hut, where nine Turks had taken refuge, a window was blasted by a bazooka-type rocket, and the second floor literally sieved with bullet holes. In desperation, one Turkish shepherd tried to flee to the riverbed, but was cut down a few feet from the door. Another grabbed a pitchfork, made...
...Srinagar, beside Kashmir's famed Dal Lake, thousands of pilgrims were gathering for last week's festival of Shaab-e-Baraat when the sorrowful news crackled from houseboat to houseboat, from hut to hut.

Inside this off-white, Louis XV lair, Harvey whispers apologetically to visitors, "This isn't really my taste. It isn't really...
...looks like a combination fallout shelter, Indian hut and lion's den. It is embedded in a hillside, and the only straight lines in it are the floors. The roof on one level is made of grey, knobby lead, on another level it is covered by two feet of earth and undulating lawn. Doors and windows are odd-shaped holes in the thick, earth-colored walls...
