...academic focus, the plan tries to return to what Rodrik says he and other faculty believed was the center’s original intent. Financially, the plan grows out of concerns on the part of the central administration not to repeat the ways of the last four years...
...soldiers simply fade away. Janko Bobetko, 83 and ailing, had been keeping a low profile in Zagreb, intent on living out his days in the quiet comfort of the villa he shares with Magdalena, his wife of 57 years.
