...talk once again this week of drawing up separate zones. The main question, and one that will torment the West for years to come, is the question of people, perhaps even the question of genocide. Milosevic's "final solution" is a wrenching dismemberment of Bosnia conceded to him by inept Western policy that will involve the largest dislocation of Europeans since World War II. Two million Serbs, Croats and Muslims are to be shoved around as the multiethnic country is rearranged along ethnic lines. More than 1.5 million Bosnian Muslims are to be jammed into wretched "safe areas" that will...
This is especially evident in Scheiner's direction which is not so much inept as it is unimaginative and rote, sort of the directorial equivalent of painting by numbers.

In New York City, only 7.2 percent of registered voters turned out for the last set of school board elections. And for most of these people, the ballot was simply a list of relatively anonymous characters...
...computer system is even worse. A backdoor into the mail system allows even the most inept hacker to masquerade as President Rudenstine when sending electronic Mail. This means that any email receiyed could be real or it could be a blatant forgery-and the recipient has absolutely no way of knowing...
