...Before going on, I should note that the soundtrack apparently has huge spoilers in the track listing; that is, the titles of the tracks give away key parts of the plot. I say apparently because I have avoided them assiduously, and listing them here would only, of course, tempt the reader to spoil it for him/herself as well. So while I will discuss the few pieces that won't give anything away (such as "Anakin's Theme"), you'll have to buy the soundtrack (or glance at the back in Newbury Comics) to find out what the rest...
...troop withdrawal" Thursday, moving about 120 soldiers out of Kosovo before assembled Western reporters at a border post. A senior officer then spun the reporters the line that the only thing slowing Yugoslav withdrawal was NATO's continued bombing. It was a lame stunt, but it pointed to the key obstacle to a Russian-mediated peace process: Moscow wants a simultaneous Yugoslav withdrawal and cessation of NATO's bombing, but NATO won't stop bombing until Belgrade backs down on a number of fronts. "Milosevic can't end the bombing simply by appearing to meet some single, minimum requirement," says...
...wounded, double the previous figures -- the enlargement may be designed to prepare the Serbs for a compromise by Milosevic. For NATO, the political dynamic may be getting easier, with 50 days of continual attacks having made the Western public more accustomed to the air war over Kosovo.

Serb media stunts won't change that. Besides, CNN revealed Thursday that it had lost $1.1 million in equipment during...
...Passengers and smaller airlines have long complained that the major carriers have used deregulation to concentrate their power around key travel hubs, which they then use to chase out competitors and raise prices. "Justice?s move squarely addresses one of the major tactics large carriers have used to create fortress hubs," says Greenwald. It is also another indication that the resurgent antitrust division, under the activist leadership of Joel Klein, is determined to have an impact on the conduct of the nation?s business. Though the division has been tolerant of most mergers, says Greenwald, "it has been wary...
...hardy perennial has suffered another seasonal setback. Two key Democratic senators, Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad, both of North Dakota, said on Tuesday that they would not back the pre-Memorial Day effort to pass a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. The two said they would instead support a flag-desecration statute. The move once again puts the amendment in mortal danger, since their votes are essential to achieve the necessary two thirds majority in the Senate, reports TIME congressional correspondent John Dickerson. Last time a flag amendment came to the Senate floor in 1995, it failed to pass...
