...challenge Serb domination, and the Serbs and the Bosnians still refuse to agree on any settlement negotiated by mediators. The Serb reaction last week to U.N. scolding and NATO's minor bombing was almost contemptuous. In a telephone call to U.N. commander Lieut. General Sir Michael Rose's headquarters, Jovan Zametica, a senior Serb official, warned, "Don't mess with...
...strikes or not. Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic makes the absurd claim that the Muslims faked the whole market carnage, using mannequins, professional actors to portray the wounded and old corpses provided by obliging Croat forces, who would have had to smuggle them into Sarajevo through Serb lines. Jovan Zametica, spokesman for the self-described Bosnian Serb government, remarks, "If NATO aircraft attack, we'll take them out."

Jovan Divjak, head of the mainly Muslim Bosnian Territorial Defense force, called on non-Serb Sarajevans to fight "even if you have no weapons...
...from the slopes where the skiing events were held to the Sarajevo airport, 20 miles away. There a courier took the film on a chartered Learjet to London and by Concorde to New York City. One day the airport was closed, so Frey and TIME's Yugoslav driver, Jovan Vučkoviċ, set off on a hair-raising ride over winding, snow-covered mountain roads to Mostar, 84 miles away, where the Learjet waited. Says Frey: "The drive, in good weather, takes two hours. We made it in an hour and 55 minutes." So fell another Olympic record...
